What words are said by lieutenant kotler in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas that Bruno cannot understand?

Answer 1

Bruno's father is based on the first commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf. Making Bruno's last name Hoess.

Answer 2

Their family name is Hoess

Answer 3

Out with is really auswitz which was a concentration camp.

When Bruno talks about the "Fury" he actually means Führer, which means leader in German. In the book, the "Fury" is Adolf Hitler.

Answer 4

In "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," Lieutenant Kotler speaks in German, a language that Bruno cannot understand. Some of the words spoken by Lieutenant Kotler that Bruno cannot understand include "Jude" (meaning Jew) and other derogatory terms used to refer to Jewish people. Bruno's lack of understanding of these words highlights his innocence and ignorance of the horrors occurring around him during the Holocaust.

Answer 5

Bruno: "We're not supposed to be friends you and me. We're meant to be enemies, Did you know that?"

Bruno: "There is such thing as a nice Jew, though, isn't there?

Herr Liszt: " I think, Bruno, if you ever found a nice Jew, you would be the greatest explorer in the world."

Narrator (Bruno): Despite the chaos that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Schmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded to let him go.

We should never have let the Fury come to dinner.

The thing about exploring is that you have to know whether the thing you've found is worth finding. Some things are just sitting there, minding their own business, waiting to be discovered. Like America. And other things are probably better off left alone. Like a dead mouse at the back of the cupboard.

Answer 6

Though it's not mentioned directly, the word that Lieutenant Kotler uses repeatedly in the story was either a derogatory term for 'Jew' (since every time he used it, the word was in direct reference to a Jewish person), or a swear word of some sort.

Answer 7

Bruno is a curious young boy, he likes adventure novels and likes exploring. He has no idea about what is happening in the camps, he thinks his father is a good man. He is friendly toward Shmuel (the boy he meets after exploring though the forest) and they become friends.

Answer 8

There are many words Bruno doesn't deliver correctly.

• Out-with (which is really Aushwitz.)
• Fury (Fuhrer)

• and instead of 'heil Hitler' he thinks it means; "Well, goodbye for now and have a pleasant afternoon..."

I think there are a few more, but this is all I know of so far!

Answer 9

the boy in the stupid pajamas

Answer 10

Bruno's last name is Walter
