The Boy in Striped Pajamas

By John Boyne

Pages: 218

This fiction book is a sad story about the Holocaust.  The book focuses on only one family’s life during this time period. There is a boy named Bruno who has to move and he is mad. “Why?” Bruno would always think. His dad was a Nazi; Bruno’s family lived right next to a concentration camp with people in striped pajamas. He made a friend with one of the men in the pajamas. His name was Shmuel. Bruno really didn’t understand what the holocaust was about, so one day he went under the fence.  He put on striped pajamas and tried to help Shmuel find his dad. They both ended up dying (maybe from the gas chamber the book doesn’t say). If you are a sensitive person, there are only a few parts that are sad.
