What happens after Bruno and Shmuel die in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?
Well, in the book they get taken on a death march into a big room. Bruno believes that it is a room to keep them dry until the rain stops. It does not specifically say how they died in the book, yet after some research you will find that the room that they were brought into was a gas chamber (unknown to them). These chambers were common in Nazi concentration camps. They found it an easy way to kill of the prisoners. Most prisoners were innocent, and randomly picked to die. These chambers were filled with poisonous gas, so they most likely just suffocated from the gas.

Why did the author of the boy in the striped pajamas choose the title?
Sara Michelle Fetters: Why did you want to write this book? Where did the idea come from?
John Boyne: I started writing the book in April of 2004 and it wasn't the book I intended writing at all. I was a student of the Holocaust for a number of years but I never expected to write about it, but I ended up having this idea, the idea of two boys at a fence talking to each other, and I thought to tell the story from the point of view of the German child. I thought the image of him walking to the fence everyday and asking questions would be a fresh take on the subject matter. The idea just seemed too interesting to ignore.

How would you describe the father Ralf in the The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?
I would say there are two sides of Bruno's Father. The more obvious side to him is of course, that he is a cruel, sick man who kills innocent Jewish people. He is hungry for power and is a very stubborn man who will do anything he can to come out on top. He has very strong political and religious views about the Jewish people and when Kotler - the books suggests he kills - Pavel, then Father does nothing to stop him from doing so. He does everything he is told by Hitler to become a leader of the Nazi's and he indoctrinates his children by telling them that what he is dong (or what the Nazi's are doing) are the best and that ''Hitler has big things in mind for him''. So this sums him up as a generally crap person.
But there is another side to Father that very few people suggest is true, but it's an option. Maybe Father isn't such a bad person. Maybe he is only doing his job well so he can provide for the family, because if he did not do as he is told by Hitler, then Hitler has the power to do whatever he likes to Father and his family. Maybe he is a good person doing bad things? Maybe he is a bad person with a spark of good inside him? It depends on how you view him throughout the book. The book suggests he isn't a very good lover and husband to Mother, as she is possibly having an affair with Kotler ('sometimes, he is still there when i go to bed, and still there even before i wake up' suggesting that Kotler stayed over the night while Father isn't there) and he doesn't treat Bruno and Gretel as his children, who he loves, but more two people who he is consistently giving them rules and continuously tells them that the Jews 'aren't really like people at all' and that the Nazi's are amazing. But in the last chapter after Bruno has snuck into the concentration camp with Shmuel and has been killed in a gas chamber, we feel sorry for Father. He figures out what Bruno has done and he is taken away by some soldiers, but he doesn't care what they do to him any more (kinky ;)). I have a mixed view of Father, but I got an assessment on this tomorrow -_-.
Sorry this answer is so long winded :L x
