Dreng i den stribede pyjamas bruno efter navn?
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Bruno er en 9-årig dreng, der vokser op under Anden Verdenskrig i Berlin. Han bor sammen med sine forældre, sin 12-årige søster Gretel og tjenestepiger, hvoraf den ene hedder Maria. Efter et besøg af Adolf Hitler bliver Brunos far forfremmet til kommandant, og familien må flytte til "Out-With" på grund af ordrerne fra "Fury" (Brunos naive fortolkning af ordet "Führer"). Bruno er i begyndelsen ked af at skulle flytte til Out-With (aldrig identificeret, men jf. Auschwitz) og forlade sine venner Daniel, Karl og Martin. Fra huset i Out-With ser Bruno en lejr. En dag beslutter Bruno sig for at udforske det mærkelige trådhegn. Da han går langs hegnet, møder han en jødisk dreng ved navn Shmuel, som han erfarer, at han har samme fødselsdag som ham. Shmuel fortæller, at hans far, bedstefar og bror er sammen med ham på denne side af hegnet, men at han er adskilt fra sin mor. Bruno og Shmuel taler sammen og bliver gode venner, selv om Bruno stadig ikke forstår ret meget af Shmuel og hans side af hegnet. Næsten hver dag, medmindre det regner, går Bruno hen til Shmuel og giver ham mad i smug. Efterhånden som møderne fortsætter, og Shmuel bliver mere og mere mager, gør Brunos naivitet, at han aldrig indser, at han bor ved siden af en dødslejr.
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Bruno is a 9-year-old boy growing up during World War II in Berlin. He lives with his parents, his 12-year-old sister Gretel and maids, one of whom is called Maria. After a visit by Adolf Hitler, Bruno's father is promoted to Commandant, and the family has to move to 'Out-With' because of the orders of "The Fury" (Bruno's naïve interpretation of the word 'Führer'). Bruno is initially upset about moving to Out-With (never identified, but cf. Auschwitz) and leaving his friends, Daniel, Karl, and Martin. From the house at Out-With, Bruno sees a camp. One day, Bruno decides to explore the strange wire fence. As he walks along the fence, he meets a Jewish boy named Shmuel, who he learns shares his birthday. Shmuel says that his father, grandfather, and brother are with him on this side of the fence, but he is separated from his mother. Bruno and Shmuel talk and become very good friends, although Bruno still does not understand very much about Shmuel and his side of the fence. Nearly every day, unless it's raining Bruno goes to see Shmuel and sneaks him food. As the meetings go on, and Shmuel gets more and more skinny, Bruno's naïveté means he never realizes he is living beside a death camp.
