“The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is a movie about a boy named Bruno. In the movie he encounters a Jewish boy behind a barbed wire fence in a Jewish work camp and the two boys become fast friends. Bruno goes to the barbed wire fence every day to talk to the Jewish boy named Shmuel. But one day Bruno’s father tells Bruno that they are going to go live with his aunt. Bruno digs a hole into the work camp to help Shmuel find his father but he dies by poisonous gas. What I like about the movie is that the two boys become fast friends, but I didn’t like that the two boys die by poisonous gas.
This movie is based on a book of the same title. The library owns the book in multiple formats: book, CD audiobook, ebook, and eaudiobook.
