She saw it as if it was a responsibility for someone to beat up a Jew. Another part of the plot of “The Boy in Striped Pajamas‚” that connects to the second part of John Betjeman’s quote is when Bruno went on a rescue mission with Shmuel to save his father.

Text response essay The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas D’arcy McGregor 9b The boy in the striped pyjamas is a profanation.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by Mark Herman opened my eyes to a different side of the Holocaust. The film was told through the point of view of a young child outside the camps and how this horrific event looked to them. Bruno being so young and naïve had no idea what Shmuel was going through.
