“We sang as we walked, all of us, singing a hundred different songs, and the Nazis let us sing. Another small mercy. Or perhaps they too missed the way the world had been before the war.”

“...Despite the mayhem that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go.”

This is an amazing historical book for mature readers to enjoy. I loved this book and it pairs well with a movie. It puts a young boys perspective to life.

I remember reading and watching the movie in school. As sad as the story made me, I always liked it and it has a really important message behind it

“Why can‘t we go over to see them?” Bruno asked. “They‘re not allowed to leave, are they?”
“They‘re not allowed to leave,” Father said. “And we‘re not allowed to go over there.”
“Why not?”
“Because they‘re not like us.”

blurb

Bruno moves to a house near a fence that separates him from Shmuel, a boy in striped pajamas. Their friendship reveals the harsh realities of their world during World War II. This powerful story explores love and hate through the eyes of innocence.
