This is a book that needs to be discussed in schools. It gives insights of the holocaust from a child's pov. Its so sad that things that are so obvious to a little child, such as equality, are easily forgotten by adults. And how children are naturally filled with so much love and compassion but its the society that teaches them dissertation and hatred.

I enjoyed the tone of the book.

Major yikes
Auschwitz Memorial: "'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' should be avoided by anyone who studies or teaches about the history of the Holocaust."
