John Boyne chose to write about a young boy because the subject of the Holocaust can be a very cruel and harsh thing to write about, especially in an adults point of view. So, John Boyne decided to put the main character as a naive young boy that knew nothing of the holocaust. This way, it wouldn't seem as harsh as it would usually be.
