In my honest opinion even though he was very young child Guido should have made sure that his child knew this was not a joke nor a game that this horrific execution of Jews was very serious. Guido should have talked with honesty so the child would know later in the future that what he went through is not a game but it is a truly horrendous time in history where the extermination of 6 million Jews caused many survivors to view the world in a different ways and would change their lives in such a tremendous way. I believe children should not have to experience the killings of millions of others but it would not be fair or respectful to the the people who have perished to tell one;s child that their death and torture was game, no matter how much you love your child they need to know the truth so when grown they could comprehend that all those lives were not his competitors, that they were innocent lives. In the film Guido does the impossible to protect his son, helping him hide losing his life, he offended many others because how could he die for a game while others died for simple unexplained and cruel things like asking or even talking to an officer, but he died all for a game that his child will later will regret because he will understand that it was something no one should make a joke out of. If he would have been honest with his son there would be a lot less issues he passes through and even could have not lost his live along with the other 6 million
