Book Summary:

"The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" is a historical novel by Irish author John Boyne, first published in 2006. The story is set during World War II and is told through the perspective of Bruno, an eight-year-old boy who is the son of a Nazi commandant.

Bruno’s family moves from their home in Berlin to a house near a concentration camp, where his father has been assigned a new post. Bruno is unhappy with the move and is curious about the strange people he sees from his new home, particularly a boy named Shmuel, who wears "striped pyjamas" and lives on the other side of a fence. Bruno befriends Shmuel, unaware that he is a Jewish prisoner in the concentration camp. As their friendship deepens, Bruno becomes more and more intrigued by Shmuel’s life and the horrors of the camp, but he remains unaware of the full extent of the atrocities taking place.

The novel is a poignant exploration of innocence, friendship, and the impact of prejudice and war. The tragic ending reveals the devastating consequences of Bruno’s naive misunderstanding of the situation, symbolizing the innocence lost during the Holocaust.
