There really is no resolution.

They just think that Bruno's missing. Bruno's mom thinks that he went to Berlin so she takes Gretel and goes there while Bruno's dad stays at Auschwitz.

Is the boy in the striped pajamas a real story?
No, the story is fiction. The father, Ralf, was based on the real-life commandant, Rudolf Hoess. And Auschwitz certainly existed, but the idea that it was possible to crawl under the fence is absurd. In reality, the fences had a high-voltage current and the whole of the main site at Auschwitz was surrounded by a 'no-go' strip at least 300 yards wide. Anyone seen in the 'no-go' area was shot on sight. See the link.
