The boy in striped pajamas is about a boy names Bruno and he is living in the time of the holocaust and his family has to make a big move to a small place that is right next to a big fence. And every day he is wondering why there are people behind the fence so one day he goes to the fence and he meats a kid that is working and learns the kids story and gets lost so his family looks for him and will they find him ? you will have to read the story to find out. One interesting theme that I found in the book is how important family and friends are, and that even if you didn't like something that your parents do such as move to a city or state you should always trust them and be happy even if it means that you have to meat new friends. Also another theme that I got to see in the book was that even though when you move you will probably loose all of your friends you will always make new friends were ever you go. The last theme that I think is shown in the book is how important friend ship is we see that it is important because in the book we see Bruno meat a kid that is very lonely and he becomes his friend, and even though they are on different side of the fence they find a way to be able to hang out and have fun together.
