The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

The story is told through the eyes of a nine-year-old German boy, Bruno,
who lives carefree in a beautiful five-story house in Berlin with his family and
friends. One day, Bruno comes home to find his maid, Maria, putting his things
in a suitcase, as the family is forced to move to Ave, because his father has an
important new job assignment. But Bruno does not like the new place: not
finding children nearby with whom to play, he misses.
Then he goes to explore the area, which is visible from the window in his
room, where people walk around in the same striped pajamas. There he met his
new friend - a Jewish boy, Shmuel, sitting on the other side of the fence. It
turned out that both boys were born on the same day, and, as Bruno believed,
they had a lot in common.
They met regularly at the fence, but as time went on, the parents decided
that Bruno, his mother and sister should go back to Berlin. Then he decided to
go and say goodbye to his friend. It is at this moment that Bruno decides to help
Shmuel find his father, who disappeared the day before.
Having changed clothes, he becomes like the rest of the prisoners, in this
form the boy crawls to the other side of the fence. Bruno's family, having
discovered the disappearance of the boy, begins a search, and realizes that
Bruno has disappeared in the camp. Bruno and Shmuel perish along with the
rest of the prisoners in the gas chamber.
