Description
“I want to know why the fence is there," asked young Bruno. His sister explained: the fence is there to keep them away from us because we don't like them. None of her explanations, and for that matter, nothing of this new place--the high fence, the shaved-headed people in striped pajamas, the anger of the adults--made any sense to him. But his friendship with Schmuel does—and, for him, the longer they are friends, the more they become the same. Both must, however, pay the consequences of adults' decisions. Parent note: while concentration camp life is innocently and carefully told through the eyes of a child, the concepts and story's end are haunting and dig deeply in one's soul. This NY Times Bestseller, 10th Anniversary Edition includes 8 discussion questions. 218 pgs, sc. ~ Ruth
Publisher's Description of Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Berlin, 1942: When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move to a new house far, far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people in the distance.
But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different from his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.
