Hart does an expert job of combing fantasy and history. I enjoyed and learned. A great read.

This story requires a huge stretch of imagination that Bruno could seriously meet Schumuel almost every day for a year and not have more understanding or empathy for his friend. There is no mention of snow -- surely if Bruno came in a warm overcoat and Schumuel was in the thin striped pyjamas, Bruno would have to question why and how Schumuel didn't have warmer clothes -- and why wouldn't he try to give him some? How could he not see the starvation in Schumuel's face? How could Bruno not have any idea why the fence is there? When he finally asks his older sister and she explains they're Jews, he innocently asks if they are also Jews.

After a year, Bruno's mother gets permission to return to Berlin with the children (due to her having had an affair with a junior officer) and this occurs just after Bruno has his head shaved because of lice. When he goes to say goodbye to Schumuel for the last time, Schumuel has brought a spare pair of pyjamas as the plan was for Bruno to crawl under the fence so he can help Schumuel look for his father, who is missing -- as a final adventure. (The adventure of seeing Schumuel's life is far more important to Bruno than finding Schumuel's father.) Of course, while on the other side of the fence, being explorers, a whistle is blown and the two boys are herded into a dark room where they hold hands. Bruno is never seen again and his parents wonder what happened to him. A fable -- about something that could never happen again, says the author in the end.

Too unbelievable. Much preferred Gleitzman's first-person version of naivete...

"Everybody deserves something good in their life at least once."

Gleitzman addresses the readers at the end of the book, telling his own grandfather's family were Jews who died in Poland and how this book was inspired by the true story of Janusz Korczak, a Polish Jewish doctor who died in 1942 with orphans he had been taking care of.
