A poignant story which touches on the horrors of the Holocaust through the eyes of an innocent child. Bruno’s father is a Nazi in Hitler’s Army and they live an affluent life. His father’s job takes them away to a new home set on the outskirts of a dark place where Bruno befriends a boy called Shmuel, a boy who wears striped pyjamas. Brilliantly written, their story unfolds, a journey of friendship through adversity of war with lessons to be learned by us all. A wonderful book for adults and children alike!
