I watched the movie Boy in the Striped Pajamas. An eight year German boy named Bruno and his family have to move out of their house and move to a house in the country of Poland. They moved becasue his father is a commander in the Natzi Army, and he got promoted. Bruno was looking out his window and saw a concentrtion camp, which he thought was a farm. His family gave him strict orders to not leave the wall that was blocking the forest area behind his house. Being at such a young age you ofcorse would want to explore around your new house, Bruno disobeyed his family and went to go find what it was.
He reached a big fenced in area to find a boy by the name of Schmuel, who was the same age as Bruno, on the inside of the fence. Bruno went and visited Schmuel everyday until one day Schmuel wasnt there for a couple days. He eventually returned but Bruno had bad news to tell his best friend. Bruno has just recently found out that him and his family were returning back to Berlin. Bruno felt very bad that he as moving, and that Schmuels dad was missing. The next day, Schmuel came out with extra "pajamas" for Bruno, and Bruno came with a shovel. Bruno put on the clothes, dug his way into the concentration camp, and helped Schmuel find his dad.
The boys wander around the camp, Bruno is getting deja vu from the video that his father was watching. The movie he was watched showed the same camp, but showed how people were enjoying themselves, Bruno now knows the truth of the camps. Little did Bruno and Schmuel know is that they would walk into the wrong bunk area, and get taken out with the rest of the men into the "shower" Bruno and Schmuel cling onto each other in hope that they would find Schmuels father, that never happened. Brunos family was devastated with what has all happened and found it all hard to take in.
This movie made me cry, it really shows what happened to the Jews. It also showed that the youngest of kids can be put into concentration camps. The Holocaust was a horrible thing, this movie showed how bad it got. I give it a 4.5 out of 5.
