HOST A: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a

Holocaust film told from the point of view of

an eight-year-old boy, Bruno, whose father is

a distinguished Nazi official.

HOST B: When his father is promoted, Bruno

moves to a house near the Auschwitz

concentration camp which he believes is a

farm.

HOST A: Bruno meets Shmuel, a Jewish boy

in the camp, while exploring his backyard.

During multiple visits, Bruno smuggles

Shmuel food, the two talk, play board games,

and develop a friendship.

HOST B: As the film gets progressively

darker, Shmuel’s father who is also

imprisoned at the camp, attempts an escape

with other Jews and goes missing. Bruno

sneaks into the camp wearing the “pajamas”

that Shmuel gave him to help Shmuel find his

father. At the end of the movie, both boys are

caught and killed in a gassing chamber.

HOST A: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a

good example of ways that filmmakers often

tone down disturbing material to create a film

that portrays historic events without being too

graphic or emotionally unsettling.

HOST B: However, it can be said that the film

is almost unrealistic in the effort to portray the

Holocaust in such light a manner.

HOST A: There are also many factual

inaccuracies in the film such as the very

existence of Shmuel. In concentration camps

during the Holocaust, those too young to work

were immediately gassed. The fact that

Bruno’s mother had no idea of the killing of

Jews is also very improbable.

HOST B: In conclusion, The Boy with the

Striped Pajamas is a good movie but the

creative licenses that were taken were

ultimately detrimental to the accuracy of the
