The boy in the striped pyjamas

The 3rd Grade students  are watching the film “The boy in the striped pyjamas”. The film is about  a nine-year old boy,Bruno, who lives a wealthy lifestyle with his mother, sister Gretel and Father, who is a soldier. But his father gets promoted and the job requires the whole family to move out of Berlin  to the countryside.

Once the family arrives at the so called by Bruno “old and dusty” new house, Bruno discovers a fence out of his window. Bruno enjoys exploring and finds a young boy behind the fence named Shmuel, whom Bruno becomes great friends with. But was getting so close with someone behind a forbidden fence such a good idea?

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas leaves a strong message, about what Hitler did to many innocent lives and about friendship as well. It is a must!!!! Enjoy it!!!
