The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas By Hannah Newbery 9B

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas is similar to The Book Thief because they are both set during the Holocaust in World War Two. In The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas is about a German boy, Bruno whose father is part of the Nazi party. The family move near the concentration camp where Bruno’s dad is working. One day Bruno goes for a walk and discovers the camp. He meets a boy called Shmaul, a Jewish boy that’s living in the camp. Bruno's confused about why Shmaul is in there but Shamul doesn’t answer any questions. Bruno sends food to Schmaul until one day Shmaul invites him into the camp and Bruno accepts not knowing what's in store. They are in the camp for a few minutes when everyone is rounded up. They are told they are going for a shower and they are all gased to death.
