I watched boy in the striped pajamas for my WWII era movie. The movie is about a Nazi military leader moving his family out in the country and the little boy finds out that they are living near a concentration camp but he thinks it is a farm that they wear pajamas. His mother tries to stop him from exploring but he finds out a way to go over there and check it out. When he arrives at the large gate he finds a boy his age on the other side.  The boys mom in the movie eventually finds out that the bad smell that is coming from the "chimneys" is really the smell of people burning. She is horrified and he and her husband start to fight about everything. The boy keeps going to the fence and becoming good friends with the other boy but he does not understand why he is in there nor what it is. The boys older sister is starting to support the Nazis and starts dressing like the girl in the poster and hanging nazi poster on her walls. A bunch of nazi military leaders arrive at the boys house and they boy decides to go and see what they were doing.  He sees that they are watching a video that is saying how good the camp is and he decides he wants to go over there. His mother wants to move him and his sister somewhere else but the boy does not want to leave his friend so he decides to dig a hole and climb to the other side of the fence and to help the boy find his father. When his parents find out that he is gone they go look for him but while there looking their son is being pushed into a room which he thinks they are just waiting for the rain to go away. By the time they find him it is too late and he was already in the room being burned.

I thought this movie was very interesting because when the brother and sister got a tutor he was teaching them that the Jews were trying to take over the world and how the boy did not understand what the camp was the entire movie even at the end.
