But Alex was actually a Jew, kept alive by those who were exterminating his people. With his real identity hidden, he became a poster boy for the Nazi ideal and was taken into a Latvian family, who later migrated to Australia.For fifty years, Alex lived a quiet, suburban life in Melbourne, marrying and raising three sons. He never revealed his shocking history to anyone, until in 1996, a series of events led him on a quest back to Europe with his son, filmmaker Mark Kurzem. There, he rediscovered his past and found relatives he never suspected he had. On his return to Australia, those revelations would be met with surprise, even denial, and raise difficult and emotional questions. The film explores Alex s search for his true history and the unexpected impact that had on his family, community and his own sense of identity. 001355905 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001355905 546__ $$aThis edition in English. 001355905 60010 $$aKurzem, Alex,$$d1936- 001355905 650_0 $$aHolocaust survivors. 001355905 650_0 $$aJewish children in the Holocaust$$zLatvia$$zRīga$$vBiography. 001355905 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001355905 7102_ $$aCaneva Media Production. 001355905 7761_ $$cOriginal$$w(OCoLC)747797409 001355905 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1641523 001355905 901__ $$aASP1641523/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25137$$tbiblio 001355905 905__ $$uadmin 001355905 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1355905$$pGLOBAL_SET 001355905 944__ $$a1784826 001355905 945__ $$aThe Whole World 001355905 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001355905 980__ $$aBIB 001355905 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001355905 983__ $$aOnline
