Auschwitz, the setting of the majority of the story, is important because it's the one of the harshest concentration camp created by the Germans.

Shmuel, a Jewish boy, is forced to live in Auschwitz and Bruno, a German boy, is also forced to live there as well (this is because his father, the commandant got transferred to Auschwitz and the whole family had to follow him).

What are the true parts of the novel the boy in the striped pajamas?

Although Bruno is FICTIONAL, Rudolf Höss is really the first commandant of Auschwitz. Unlike Treblinka, Höss developed a method to trick people into thinking they were taking showers. At Treblinka, the people knew they were going to be gassed. The naïve part of Bruno is true, children are naïve and are un-hateful. The entire Holocaust part is real.
