Brunos father is the commander of the German army and because of that he and his family are forced to move from berlin to poland, next to a concentration camp. in the beginning bruno this his new home is boring because he doesn’t have anyone to play with. although the that changes when bruno meets shmuel, a boy from the other side of the fence.
