THE BOY IN THE STRIPPED PYJAMAS

Bruno is a 9-year-old boy growing up during World War II in Berlin. He lives in a huge house with his parents, his 12-year-old sister Gretel and servants. His father is a high-ranking official who after a visit from Hitler is promoted to Commandant, and Bruno’s family has to move away to a place called Out-With.
Bruno feels lonely and has no one to talk or play with. However, one day while Bruno is looking out of his window he notices a bunch of people all wearing the same stripped pyjamas. Bruno finds out he is not allowed to explore the house or its surroundings. Due to the combination of curiosity and boredom, he is force to explore. He thinks he spots a dot in the distance on the other side of the fence and as he gets closer, he sees it’s a boy. Excited that there might be a boy his age, Bruno introduces himself to the Jewish boy, whose name is Shmuel. He was taken from his family and forced to work in Out-With. Almost every day, they meet at the same spot to talk. Bruno is ordered to go back to Berlin with his mother and sister on the orders of his father.
As a final adventure, he agrees to dress in stripped pyjamas and goes under the fence to help Shmuel to find his father, who was missing in the camp. The boys are unable to find him and just as it starts to rain and get dark, Bruno decides he would like to go home, but they are rounded up in a crowd of people by Nazi guards who start them on a march. Neither boy knows where this march will lead. However, they are soon crowded into a gas chamber, which Bruno assumes is a place to keep them dry from the rain until its stops. Bruno’s family tries to find him. His father finds Bruno’s clothes and discovers that the fence is not properly attached at the base and can form a gap big enough for a boy of Bruno’s size to fit through. His father realizes that they gassed Bruno to death.
