‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ is about two little boys who become the most unlikely of friends during the Holocaust. Shmuel, a young Jewish boy, lives in a concentration camp holding Jewish people from different areas on one side of the fence. Bruno, a young German boy, lives in a two-storey house on the other side of the fence with his family. The fence is a figurative and literal line of division.

The Boy in Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne is a tragic and remarkable novel which is set in Nazi Germany during the Second World War and tells the story of a 9 year old boy called Bruno. Bruno’s father was made the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp by Hitler which meant his family had to leave their home in Berlin and move into a soldier-paroled house in Auschwitz.

Bruno is confused why Shmuel is on the other side of the fence and why he wears pyjamas all day. As the novel progresses, we learn that Shmuel is a prisoner of the Auschwitz concentration camp that Bruno’s father runs, but Bruno is completely oblivious to that fact.
