A German child befriends a Jewish child during World War II

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2009)

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is truly an original take on the Holocaust during World War II. It is seen from the perspective of a child. It not only shows the Holocaust through a child's eyes, but through the eyes of a German child and a Jewish child. This film captivates the audience through to the very last scene. It is not very historical like other Holocaust films, such as Schindler's List. It focuses on the relationship between a German child and a Jewish child in a concentration camp. As their friendship develops, both children grown in different ways, as they try to see the world through each others eyes. It is definitely a film worth seeing!
