The Jewish Nazi?

"The Mascot" chronicles the awe-inspiring tale of Alex Kurzem, a young boy who miraculously escaped the devastation of his family's shtetl in Belarus during World War II. Facing one of the coldest winters on record in the desolate forests, Alex managed to survive, but was later captured by a Latvian battalion. Strikingly, instead of executing him, they empathized with his plight and bestowed upon him a new identity, uniform, and weapon, transforming him into their young mascot, "Hitler's youngest soldier." Delving into Alex's life beyond the war, the film also explores his arduous journey to Australia alongside his adopted Latvian family. It ultimately follows his integration into Melbourne's Altona suburb, painting a profound portrait of resilience and hope amidst extraordinary circumstances.
