The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

The book is called, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas written by John Boyne. This amazing Historical fiction story will make you go through grief and happiness. Bruno and his family lived in a huge house in Berlin. It’s 1943 and its World War II. But then his parents initiated moving day. Bruno wakes up one morning with his stuff being packed and in a blink of an eye was now living in a new house. While over there he wanders in the woods and met a boy. Him and his new friend have adventures but is unaware what is really happening. My favorite part in the book is at the end so I can’t say without spoiling it.

Bruno doesn’t like things changing and wants everything to go back to normal. He is ignorant about what is happening around him until he meets someone like the Boy. You know he wasn’t aware because all he was doing was complaining about his new house when there are Jews that don’t even have their own room. They are forced into concentration camp.

I liked the book because it talks about the holocaust and how the Jews had to live in concentration camps. I recommend this to a friend because it has excellent storyline and it interest people who want to learn about the Holocaust. The theme is about friendship and despite being from different backgrounds, Bruno and the Boy became best friends.
