«La mascota» is the biographical account by Mark Kurzem, published by Suma de Letras in paperback (400 pages, in Spanish).
Mark Kurzem, an Australian son of Latvian emigrants, reconstructs the story of his father, Alex, a Jewish boy who escaped a massacre in Latvia and, to survive, hid his identity in an SS battalion, where he was the mascot during the Second World War. Decades later, Alex reveals his past and Mark helps him recover his lost identity.
Originally published in English as The Mascot in 2007, this Spanish edition is translated by Miguel Martínez-Lage and was nominated for the National Biography Award in 2008.
Appeals to readers of memoirs and true stories of the Second World War, particularly about the Holocaust and the reconstruction of family memory.
