The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne, is a historical fiction book. The book is about two boys that meet every afternoon. A boy named Bruno (1 of 2 boys) just moved to Auschwitz, he is a German that has a sister and a mom and dad. A boy named Shmuel (1 of 2 boys) is a Jew and he lives in the Nazi Death Camps, and he was separated from his family except for his dad. Bruno and Shmuel bond together, although there is a fence between them they act like it isn’t even there. Also Bruno snuck food just so Shmuel could eat. Although they never played they had the best time with their conversations. Shmuel grew weaker and thinner by the day, because he is not properly fed or treated. Shmuel is in the Death Camps because the Germans were being bullies to the Jews and would attempt to take any country smaller than theirs. My favorite part about this book was when Shmuel had to polish 64 glasses. Bruno snuck food to Shmuel, and hen a Nazi guard named Kotler came and could tell that Shmuel was eating food. Then Kotler asked Bruno if he was friends with Shmuel and Bruno denied their friendship. If you like historical fiction then you would like this book - Quentin L.
