The boy in the Striped Pajamas

This movie takes place during World War II. It shows the jews in concentration work camps and some getting burned. This movie is seen through a 8 year old boy named Bruno who is the son of the commandant at the concentration camp. His sister is Gretel who is 12 years old. Bruno likes to explore and when they move to the country side that is just what he does.

When Bruno looks out his bed room window he thinks he sees a farm with the farmers wearing pajamas. But when he goes to see these special farmers his mom tells him he cannot. Bruno finally figures a way to sneak out and go to this, as he calls it, farm. Here he meets a boy the same age as him named Shmuel who wears these stripes. Shmuel is a Jew living in this camp and sits in the same spot everyday when Bruno comes to visit. Bruno brings his new friend food and games everyday until this one day when Bruno has to move because of the fight between his mother and father.

The day starts with everyone packing their things except for Bruno he makes a sandwich for Shmuel. Bruno takes a shovel with him when going to visit Shmuel because they have a plan that they would find Shmuel father in the camp. When Bruno gets all dressed in the pyjamas he climbs under the fence where he dug the hole and they go to explore. But their exploring leads to the worse thing ever, death!

I think this is really sad! Bruno's dad is very mean in this movie and i feel bad for that family. What they did to the jews was really sad also. How can people be so cruel to other people? I would never make it through this and i hope it never happens again.
