What is the year the boy in the striped pajamas set in?
The exact year is not given, but a German soldier implies when he's speaking with Father that the time period is after 1942. The father, Ralf, is based on Rudolf Höss, the first commandant of Auschwitz. Still, the book is fictional with some historical points. In the beginning of the novel, a soldier implies it was set during 1942. On May 1, 1940, Höss became the commandant at Auschwitz. In June 1941, he started the gassing. The book says "a year later after moving", therefore, it in 1942, Höss wife found out about the gas chambers. (fact) It also states months (years?) after the fictional Bruno dies, The Last Chapter states Höss was captured, and then was later hanged. (the book never mentions this) The beginning of the book is set in Berlin, Germany; and the rest (majority) is Auschwitz. ALSO, it states Bruno and Shmuel are 9 and their birthday was in 1934, making the year around 1942/1943; depending on if they have had their birthday.

Is this supposed to be an essay or a book report? An expository essay goes into the material and you draw conclusions based on the book's assumptions, setting, theories or its use of dramatic themes. You develop a thesis, such as, The boy in the striped pajamas was a mirror by which Germans can feel the pain of a single senseless loss of life can bring and compare it to the six million Jews lost during the Holocaust. Then give three reasons from the book, explain how they support your thesis. Five sentences per paragraph, five paragraphs long. That's an essay. What you wrote is a synopsis, a summary, a book report showing you saw the movie or read the book.

What is the background of the boy in the striped pajamas?
Well, in the book a boy named Bruno lives in Berlin and is the son of a high standing SS soldier. The Feurer (Hitler) or Fury as the little boy calls him comes to visit and has dinner with his parents and this is when it is decided that the family will move to Poland to live outside the Death Camp of Auschwitz, the boy can't quite pronounce it right and calls it Out-With. The boy notices out his window all the little huts and the people in "stripped pajamas". Later on his sister tells him that they are Jews. The boy becomes terribly bored and starts to walk near the wall of the camp. He comes to a spot and sits down and he begins to see someone walking towards him. This is how he meets the boy in stripped pajamas, or shmuel. They meet almost everyday except for when it rains. They sit and talk the whole time they visit and Bruno wishes they could play. After about a year of living at Auschwitz Bruno and his sister get lice and Bruno's head is shaved. Bruno comes to notice how alike him and Shmuel look now that both of their heads are shaved, but Shmuel tells him that he can't find his father and the boys devise a plan. Bruno will come the next day and sneak under the fence and help Shmuel find his father, Shmuel will bring him stripped clothes to wear. While in the camp the two boys come upon a march and a selection. They are selected and I infer that they were taken to a gas chamber. Bruno's father begins to worry and when all hope is lost he walks the line of the fence and finds that the fence is lose in one place, where a small boy could crawl under. He also finds Bruno's clothes that he left when he changed into his stripped pajamas.

What is the genre of 'the boy in the striped pajamas'?
The HolocaustThe themes are justice, The Holocaust and curiosity. Bruno is a curious boy and he is very naive, has very little understanding of the Holocaust. The book is looked apon from a child's view and everything seems confusing and unfair. Especially to Shmuel, because he doesn't see how Bruno can be complaining about where he lives. Bruno's new house seems like such a luxury compared to Auschwitz where he lives with thousands more. It is based on justice."Friendship can be found anywhere, no matter who you are and where you come from."Edit:One could also talk about how Bruno was able to find hope in his life despite his difficult circumstances. Also, one could discuss how innocent Bruno was.he main themes of the novel include (but are certainly not limited to):1. The innocence of childhood. Bruno and Shmuel share a great deal in common but perhaps what is most striking is the childhood innocence which characterizes both boys. Bruno is unaware that his father is a Nazi commandant and that his home is on ther periphery of Auschwitz. Shmuel, imprisoned in the camp, seems not to understand the severity of his situation. When his father goes missing, Shmuel does not understand that he has gone to the gas chamber.There are several themes in the book but forbidden friendship is definitely the main one. also how brutal and cruel the war is and of Jewish people were treated with no respect.Even the most horrific events can disappear through denial. Even though they lived doorsteps away from the stech of the burning flesh, they ignored the events that were happening around them.he main themes of the novel include (but are certainly not limited to):1.
