The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas media type="youtube" key="DCNRWrA-Hoo" height="182" width="224" //The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas// directed by Marc Herman is a touching story about the unexisting boundaries of frendship. Exploring the new country side, a young boy unexpectedly comes upon a concentration camp and meets a young Jewish lad. Hidden from the truth about his fathers implications with the concentration camp, the young boy creates a friendship seperated by wired fences that will last forever. This movie is a tragic story about the innocence of children and the truth about all lies and secrets.

A marvelous production that illustrates how some of the german families were not even informed of what was going on in the work camps. They were somehow also involved but not quite. The german Nazi made the population have a nice picture of the holocaust though it wasnt. Even Nazi soldiers hid from their wives and children. I think that they were fully responsible for hiding it to everyone and causing the massacre. I think that they new the atrocity of the situation therefore hid it from the whole population.

 * During the period of the movie we've learned many things such as contrention camps, how jews were beaten and even how the home teachers threaten the kids to learn about the jews and to hate them. Jews are the same as other people. In their life they've lived in the dark. Bruno in the movie didn't understand at all what was happening, his sister kept on telling him that the jews were the enemy. She's the one who told him that the farms weren't truly farmers, they were concentration camps. I've learned that the nazi used to show German families fake videos pretending that the concentration camps were great. Bruno which is 8 years old went to peaked at the video while his dad was showing it to the Nazi and was very happy. Bruno thought that his dad was a good man. But in the deep side he was the one that showed lies to his son; he truly isn't a nice man. He wanted to kill jews and make them suffer.

This whole story was about lies and dicovering the truth. Bruno was the one that discouverd everyting but ended up dying. His dad was the one who told all the lies. I'm sure if Bruno's dad wasn't lieing all the time they lived there nothing would of happend through out the family. Being silent and not telling anybody anything leads others in trouble.
