Was The Boy In The Striped Pajamas Justified

The Mass killing in the Holocaust was a tragic event. In the 1940’s the Jews were tortured for being Jewish. They were referred to not people at all. During the Second World War the Nazi party was on a mission to kill all of the Jews in Europe. This mass killing killed over 6 million innocent Jews. The Jews had worn a yellow star for identification for the Nazis’s. (bl.uk.com). The Jews were physically tortured in the concentration camps. They were put to hard labor in striped pajamas. In The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, it was tragic that Bruno was naive about the Holocaust throughout the novel because he died and he said terrible stuff to Shmuel .

In The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, it was tragic that Bruno was naive about the Holocaust since he died. He would’ve never gotten into trouble by going with Shmuel to find his dad. When he was naive he didn’t know the dangers of the other side of the fence. The author says, “Nothing more was ever heard of Bruno after that” (Boyne 214). If he he wasn’t naive then he would’ve never gone near the fence. Lastly, he could’ve been more aware of the situation, and he would’ve supported the Nazi’s and understood what was happening. The author says, “It was as if he had

just vanished off the face of the earth and left his clothes behind him” (Boyne 214). This is one of the reasons that it was bad that Bruno was naive because he could’ve survived.
In The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, it was terrible that Bruno was naive about the Holocaust because he said poor things to Shmuel.

Bruno wasn’t aware of what was going on. When he was talking to Shmuel, he said the Germany is Superior, but he probably heard that from his papa saying that to other soldiers. Bruno said, “Where I come from is a lot nicer” (Boyne 113). Bruno doesn’t know what Shmuel grew up like. He doesn’t know what Jews are so he thinks it doesn’t matter what he says to Shmuel. Also he didn’t know what bad things Germany was doing to the people they called “Nothing”. Lastly, Bruno also didn’t know the people on the other side of the fence were regular people. Bruno was unaware of what he was saying to his friend that was treated like

“nothing”.
On the other hand, others believe it was great that Bruno was naive about the Holocaust throughout the novel. They believe this because he developed a strong friendship with Shmuel. However they are wrong because Bruno could have lived a long life but he died young. Although he developed a strong friendship with Shmuel, It was tragic that he was naive about the Holocaust because he could have survived.
In conclusion, it was awful that Bruno was naive about the Holocaust because he naiveness got him killed. This time in history was a terrible time killing innocent people like Shmuel and Bruno. It showed that Bruno was naive about the Holocaust because he said bad thing to Shmuel and didn’t know the Dangers of the Nazis. Bruno could’ve avoided going near the Fence and could’ve been more aware of the situation. He would’ve never died and all of the agony and sorrow could’ve been avoided.
