The Boy In the Stripped Pajamas is about a German boy named Bruno.  Bruno loved to play and discover many new and old places but he doesn't know that too much exploring can get him in trouble.  One day, Bruno's Dad received a promotion and became a Nazi Commandant.  This caused everyone to move to a new house called Out-With and close to the house was a Nazi concentration camp. 

When Bruno was unpacking he looked out his window only to see people in stripped pajamas.  When Bruno went exploring he found the camp and a boy named Shmuel by the barbed fence.  Shmuel was a Jewish boy (also known as a Jew) who was in the Nazi camp.  Later on in the book Shmuel and Bruno become friends and goes on an adventure that would end the both of them.

Here is a song that would describe Bruno.

  4. This book was s great! It portrayed the Holocaust from a whole new perspective: a Nazi commander's son. It was so sad though, and I think it's devastating how well the title of your song represented the book...:(
