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 from their home to a new house far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see 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 to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.

    💧Soppy

    One of the most difficult and disturbing story with nine years old character who really active, always curious, and like to explore. This is not only about children or just any child, but through the voice of a child. A touching and haunting book to be read that deals with the Holocaust in an arresting and unusual manner

    Everyone should read this book. It must be studied in schools. So, who decides what people wear striped pyjamas and what people wear uniforms?

Quotes

    The thing about exploring is that you have to know whether the thing you've found is worth finding.
  • Lanahas quoted2 years ago
    And who decided which people wore the striped pyjamas and which people wore the uniforms?

    just felt empty and cold, as if he was in the loneliest place in the world. The middle of nowhere.
