English Year 9: Literature - The boy in the striped pyjamas

Bruno doesn't know anything about the Final Solution, or the Holocaust. All he knows is that his family has moved from their home in Berlin to a desolate area, where there's no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives on the other side of the mysterious wire fence near Bruno's new house, and who wears a uniform of striped pyjamas.

In this project, we are going to read and reflect on the book The boy in the striped pyjamas by John Boyne.
