The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas tells the story of Bruno, a young German boy whose family moves to rural occupied Poland during World War II. Bruno's father, an SS officer, is promoted to commandant of a concentration camp, and Bruno innocently befriends a Jewish boy named Shmuel who is held captive there. Despite their differing backgrounds and the danger surrounding them, the two boys form a strong bond, leading Bruno to question the true nature of the camp and his family's role in it.
