Bruno has a better relationship with his mother then his father, Bruno is clearly fairly close as he asks most of his questions to his mother. His father is working at the camp so his mother is one only people he can talk to.

Why is there no greenery in the distance after the fence in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?

Asked by Wiki User

Because it is a concentration camp. Bruno's father is head of this camp and had to move close to it, to make sure everything was running the way it was suppose to be. This explains why they were so close to it. Concentration camps were a brutal place. It was basically a slaughter house, and it was pointless in trying to make it look appealing to the eye when the things going on inside the fence could scar you forever.

What happens after Bruno and Shmuel die in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, in the book they get taken on a death march into a big room. Bruno believes that it is a room to keep them dry until the rain stops. It does not specifically say how they died in the book, yet after some research you will find that the room that they were brought into was a gas chamber (unknown to them). These chambers were common in Nazi concentration camps. They found it an easy way to kill of the prisoners. Most prisoners were innocent, and randomly picked to die. These chambers were filled with poisonous gas, so they most likely just suffocated from the gas.

Sara Michelle Fetters: Why did you want to write this book? Where did the idea come from?

John Boyne: I started writing the book in April of 2004 and it wasn't the book I intended writing at all. I was a student of the Holocaust for a number of years but I never expected to write about it, but I ended up having this idea, the idea of two boys at a fence talking to each other, and I thought to tell the story from the point of view of the German child. I thought the image of him walking to the fence everyday and asking questions would be a fresh take on the subject matter. The idea just seemed too interesting to ignore.
