The use of a 9 year old boy's perspective is crucial to the story. An adult in the same situation would immediately know who the people were, what the place was, why they were there - and what would ultimately happen to them. A 9 year old with fanciful imagination and childhood innocence, bored of his lessons and out for a wander, however, knows virtually nothing about them, save that "they are Jews, and we are the opposite". This makes no difference to him - like saying they are from this street and we are from this one - so he simply sees the boy in the striped pyjamas as a new friend to make, and of course his innocence and naivete leads him to the events in the novel's conclusion.
