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.
