When the family arrived to their new home the boy notice that there was nothing around their new house, and he was devastated because he had left his friends behind. Bruno went upstairs and picked the room that he wanted, and while one of their While they were talking he notice that there was a window in his room and he look out the window, when he looked out he notice that there was a “farm” where he saw kids and adults “working”, so he went downstairs where his mother was unpacking in the kitchen, so he went and asked the mother if it was okay if he went down there and play with the children. The mother did not know what he was talking about and she said yes, but he did tell the mom that they looked a bit strange. Until one of the Jewish walked in from the back of the house and brought in some vegetables to the kitchen.

While the adults show their disgust and hatred to the Jews, Bruno doesn't mind them and is nice to Pavel, the Jew that got him the tire, and later becomes friends with Shmuel. Bruno’s father is a soldier and is in charge of the concentration camp. Even with all the Jew hating Germans around him, he still goes out to visit Shmuel and doesn’t let them ruin his friendship. Near the end of the movie Bruno shows his friend how much he cares by entering the camp to help look for Shmuel’s father, who had gone missing. While entering the camp, Bruno learned first hand how bad the camps actually were and wished he hadn’t come. Even with these feelings he still wants to help his friend, which eventually leads to his demise.
In The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne, a young naive boy, Bruno, tells from his perspective how the occurrences in the Holocaust took place.

While Bruno is out playing near a fence at the edge of Auschwitz Concentration Camp, against his father’s orders, he becomes friends with a young Jewis...
When Bruno moved to Auschwitz he was completely oblivious to the Holocaust. When he met Shmuel, he became slightly more aware, but couldn’t comprehend what it all meant. It is ironic that his innocence sheltered him from the traumatizing truth of the Holocaust, but it is what killed him in the

We see him attempting to retain a grasp on his fantasies by skipping across the pathway stones the way the Jewish children did in the propaganda film. Disconcerted by what he is witnessing, he begs Schmuel to take him to the café—but Schmuel only shakes his head and explains there is none. Finally, the boys wander into a warehouse full of sick men. Not a moment later they are swept out by officers and into the gas chambers. All through this, Bruno remains conspicuously unaware of what is
Other people in Bruno’s class were scared of him and though being scared they respected him. Because he had this kind of scared respect for him he was voted class president and was left alone.

The only person that came was the narrator was the only person who even came up to him and he did not even let her say it. But she could tell that he really enjoy her even coming up to him to attempt to talk to him.
This film portrays one of humanity’s greatest modern tragedies, through heartache and transgression, reflecting various themes throughout the movie. Beyond the minor themes some seem to argue as more important in the film, the theme of friendship and love is widely signified and found to be fundamental in understanding the true meaning behind The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Director Mark Herman presents a narrative film that attests to the brutal, thought-provoking Nazi regime, in war-torn Europe. It is obvious that with Herman’s relatively clean representation of this era, he felt it was most important to resonate with the audience in a profound and philosophical manner rather than in a ruthlessly infuriating way. Despite scenes that are more graphic than others, the film's objective was not to recap on the awful brutality that took place in camps such as the one in the movie.
Bruno's imaginative journey is a flight from reality. It is a classic example of the psychological "fight or flight" syndrome experienced by all animals (including humans) when they are confronted by something of which they are unsure or afraid - something which challenges their current reality. What Boyne does in this story is to use Bruno to show how either approach can be totally destructive: the critical lesson is that we must acknowledge reality and do what we can to remove the fences that would destroy not only ?us? but our entire world.
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" explores the beauty of a child's innocence in a time of war:
In the Boy in Striped Pyjamas Bruno’s father is one of Hitler’s commanders in charge of a concentration camp. Bruno is unaware of the role his father plays in the war and does not believe his father is a bad person. Bruno explains, ‘My dad’s a soldier but not the type that takes people’s clothes,’ which portrays his innocence on his thoughts of his father. When questioning the people on the farm his father tries to explain to him, ‘Those people are not really people at all.’ This statement alludes the symbolism that Jews are worthless in the eyes of Nazi followers and allows the audience to understand and reflect the true views of the character.
His Father was a Commandant and was loved by the leader called Hitler. Bruno’s father was forced to move to Out-With and bring his family. Bruno and Gretel were both sad about the news but had no choice. While Bruno was in Out-With for a couple
Throughout the world, there are many artifacts ranging from Literature, Music, Social Media, Fashion, Toys, Technology, and many other ones. Every single one of these artifacts has a special meaning to them such as, the Statue of Liberty which represents freedom. The National Museum and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum both contain many different types of artifacts that represent our history, as well as sharing a special meaning that can affect a person individually or even shape our society. "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" was a book written by John Boyne, which should be considered an artifact in the Holocaust Memorial Museum or the National Museum, because it represents the history of the Holocaust, as well as by symbolizing
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, by John Boyne, significantly distorts the truth of the Holocaust in order to evoke the empathy of the audience. This response is accomplished by the author through hyperbolizing the innocence of the nine-year old protagonist, Bruno. Through the use of dramatic irony, Boyne is able to both engage and involve the audience in the events of the novel. Although it is highly improbable that a son of a German high-ranking Schutzstaffel (SS) officer would not know what a Jew is and would be unable to pronounce both Fuhrer and Auschwitz, (which he instead mispronounces as ‘Fury’ and ‘Out-with’ respectively, both of which are intentional emotive puns placed by the author to emphasize the atrocity of the events), the attribution of such information demonstrates the exaggerated innocence of Bruno and allows the audience to know and understand more than him. This permits the readers to perceive a sense of involvement, thus, allowing the audience to be subjected towards feeling more dynamic and vigorous evocation of emotions and empathy towards the characters.
