The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Innocence meets horror through a child's eyes.

"The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" is a thought-provoking journey that conveys the atrocities of the Holocaust from a child's naive perspective. Bruno's innocence creates a stark contrast to the darkness he unknowingly uncovers, making it a powerful narrative on friendship and the loss of innocence. It's a poignant reminder of history's grim chapters, told in a way that's both approachable and deeply moving.

Description

Nine-year-old Bruno knows nothing of the Final Solution or the Holocaust. He is oblivious to the appalling cruelties being inflicted on the people of Europe by his country. All he knows is that he has been moved from a comfortable home in Berlin to a house in a desolate area where there is nothing to do and no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence and who, like the other people there, wears a uniform of striped pyjamas. Bruno’s friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation. And in exploring what he is unwittingly a part of, he will inevitably become subsumed by the terrible process.
