Haunting story

The Mascot, Unraveling the Mystery of My Jewish Father's Nazi Boyhood by Mark Kurzem is a very interesting read.

Alex Kurzem was only a child when he was found hiding in the forest by Nazi soldiers and they, not knowing he was Jewish, made him their mascot. This book should be required reading for students to show them the atrocities against the Jews during WWII by Hitler's army.

As an adult, Kurzem's son Mark helps him to discover the truth to the memories of his past and release him from the chains that held his mind prisoner for many years.
