picture of Alex Kurzem's son(the author of the book)
things to say...
As a five-year-old boy Alex Kurzem had witnessed the massacre of his fellow Jewish villagers, among them his mother, baby brother and sister. Kurzem escaped into nearby woods where he survived by scavenging and stealing clothes from dead bodies, until he was found and handed over to Latvian police, who “adopted” him as a mascot.
Alex asked a favor to his son to find who he is because he is Jewish.
