I don't care that he's an old man, lost his parents in the war or suffered as a child. What I care about is he claims to be a Holocaust survivor, but will not prove his claim unless he is paid. Is this what a Holocaust survivor does?

A young boy's family is murdered by death squads, but he escapes.<br /><br />2. He is adopted by the Latvian SS.<br /><br />3. He is paraded as a mascot, used in propaganda films.<br /><br />4. He survives the war, and keeps the secret for many years.<br /><br />5. He returns to his village as an old man, and, with the help of his son, tries to find his original house and members of his family.<br /><br />To me, the exact relationship of Alex Kurzem to the people in his town is not essential to his story. And as far as I can see, no one is casting doubts on points 2 through 5. Point 1 may be contested, but Kurzem was a very small boy when the events occurrend, and his recounting could well be wrong in some details.
