Alex Kersens is one of the most remarkable stories to emerge from the war.
00:13
The little Jewish boy who became a Nazi mascot.
00:23
He was a child who had to conceal his identity, had to lie.
00:28
Had to keep it as a secret because I was a Jewish boy amongst Nazis.
00:36
The Latvians took him in. They looked after him, they gave him a uniform, a gun.
00:41
He was part of the battalion.
00:43
And you became a real hero?
00:45
Real hero, yeah.
00:47
Did you witness any executions?
00:49
Oh yeah, all the time.
00:55
Dad had no name, no birth certificate, no date of birth, nothing.
01:00
I made myself forget my Jewish name because the Germans and the Latvians wouldn't keep a Jewish boy, would they?
01:09
Aldi felt deeply that he was nameless.
01:13
Once I knew the truth about my father's past, I felt it was a story worth telling.
01:19
You grew up here?
01:21
In this house?
01:22
Yes.
01:23
For a century he kept his past a secret. Even his closest family didn't know what he'd done.
01:28
Have you found your name?
01:29
Well, no.
01:32
How can you believe that?
01:35
The Jews called him a traitor and the Latvians called him a liar.
01:39
This is a lie. I would punch them in the face.
01:42
This is not the true story. It was wrong then and it's wrong now.
01:49
The Holocaust is sacred for us, so the idea that there could be a hoax, it's a big deal.
01:55
How do you reconcile this?
01:58
The story just kept getting crazier and crazier.
02:01
Sorry.
02:06
I don't know who I am.
02:19
I don't know who I am.
