John Boyne

One day, when Bruno came back home from school .Maria, his family maid, was packing all his stuff. Father has received a task from the Fury, he now is the Commandant at Out-With.

Bruno finds it pretty exciting in the beginning, but when they arrived at their new house he started to think different.

Almost everything differs from their old house. Bruno likes to discover things because he wants to become an explorer when he is grown up.

One day he looked out of his window and then he saw something which seemed very unpleasant to him. there was a fence with a lot of boys and men behind it.

They all wore the same clothes, blue and white striped pyjamas. They just walked and sat there and all looked very sad.

Bruno couldn't imagine that people could live in such poor living conditions. So he thought it were farmers.

Then one day Bruno decided to go to to the fence.

After hours of walking along the fence Bruno saw a boy wearing striped pajamas behind the fence. That was the beginning of a special friendship between Bruno and Shmuel, the boy on the other side of the fence.

They were totally different. Bruno had everything he wanted and Shmuel was skinny, pale and dirty. But at the same time they had a lot in common, and the most extraordinary thing was that they had same date of birth.

Shmuel says that it isn't a good life inside the fences.

From that day on Bruno tries to go to Shmuel at least once a week. Most of the times he brings some food with him because Shmuel is very skinny, but because of the long trip to the fence Bruno mostly eats some of the food himself already. When they are together they talk about a lot of things.

He asked shmuel about the chimneys that what do u burn in those chimneys, shmuel replied that he dnt know.(As there were chimneys in the prison camp of jews which always smell horrid)

One day burno mother asked Lieutenant Kotler(assistant of burno’s father) about the horrid smell coming from the chimneys, kotler replied they smell even worse when they burn, dnt they?

After that burno mothers cried on her husband, and began to dislike him , she remain worried that what was going on.

Bruno's parents argue a lot with each other these days. Then father decides to send back Mother, Gretel(sister) and Bruno. Father would stay in Out-With. burno truly don't want to tell Shmuel the bad news, but he had to.

Shmuel was very upset because then he would have nobody to talk to anymore.

They still had 2 days and Bruno truly wanted to see the other side of the fence, although Shmuel told him multiple times that it wasn't nice at this side. But Bruno insisted and he asked Shmuel to bring some striped pyjamas for him tomorrow.

The next day Bruno arrived at the fence and Shmuel was standing there, leaning against the fence. Shmuel handed the striped pyjama to Bruno, he changed clothes quickly. Then he rolled under the fence.

They almost looked the same, both were bald (father shaved Bruno bald because he had lice), they wore the same clothes and they both were dirty.

They went exploring, Shmuel's dad disappeared a few days ago and Bruno promised his friend that they would find him.

After walking for an hour and a half it started to become dark and Bruno had to go home for dinner. But at that moment a few soldiers blew their whistle and all the Jews were pushed together like animals.

Bruno asked what was happening and Shmuel answered that this was a march. He also asked if it would take long and where they were going , but Shmuel didn't know where they went .(actually they were herded to a gas chamber by german soldiers.)

The soldiers put them in a building. Bruno thought that they were put there because of the heavy rain outside . But they had to undress and go into a room full of showers

Then the door closed the lights went off and Bruno took Shmuel's hand. He said that Shmuel was the best friend he ever had, perhaps Shmuel opened his mouth too, but then there was a noise and everybody stopped talking. And that was the end of their friendship, hand in hand.

On the other hand bruno family was searching bruno as they came to know that bruno was lost.

Bruno father along with couple of soldiers went for search but soon he realized there was nothing left except the bruno ashes.

Bruno’s mother and sister found his clothes along the fence and cried a lot becoz bruno was no more left now.
