As I picked up the pen to write this text, my pen was crawling on my knees.

in the dark before the arrival rational to measure childhood sense of smell, hearing, and taste. When a clever word like "Jewish" meets a bloody term like "Nazi", it vividly explains the meaning of tragedy, that is, witnessing a beautiful destruction.
Bruno was not happy about leaving and resisted. But children's complaints seem so insignificant in front of adults who are drowning in excitement. Say goodbye to familiar cities, familiar people, say goodbye to grandparents, school classmates, and close partners. Bruno, who was attacked by loneliness, sat quietly in the car. The car was gray, and the headlights could not illuminate the direction ahead, and at the same time lost the retreat behind.
Perhaps because of the war, there was a bloody smell in the air, heavy and turbid. There are no schools here, the father hired a tutor, and the teenager was forced to pick up "Three Days in Germany" and listen to the uninteresting German history: the German nation is the best nation, Hitler is the greatest leader, and the Jews are human beings The rubbish, loyalty to Hitler is the performance of patriotism ...
blue sky, white clouds. The little boy was swinging on the swing made of tires. This man seemed to have another pair of eyes hidden in his eyes, which seemed to want to see through everything. However, in the shadow of the war, all the purity and mind of the boy were imposed on the color of the adults. Adults use deception to cover up the bottom-level sin and shame, spread the most unrealistic beauty on the surface, and tell the plump-minded teenager in an orderly tone: Look! This is the truth! ! !
The image of the father in the eyes of the children is always stalwart. But the children don't know that the father of the military officer who can't take other people's clothes has robbed countless lives with brutal pistols, shattered countless firm dreams with his generous hands that had touched him, and kissed his own. Gentle lips issued countless "Jews, die" orders.
Sunshine is not stingy, and warms every inch of the land with a broad mind, no matter how evil it is here, how dirty it is there. The warm and warm sun shines on the quiet and peaceful land in the countryside, and two golden statues and barbed wire fences are hard to ignore.
If time can come to an abrupt end here, nothing will change. Everything is harmonious and beautiful. The sun is still there, and the smile is still there. The morning breeze blew, and what it took away was only a few broken petals, a few dead leaves, and a few particles of dust. Instead of countless fresh lives, hot blood. But how could Germany in World War II tolerate the cessation of time? The pursuit and slaughter of Jews moved forward rapidly with time, and there was no pause.
Sadly, the maddened executioner actually reserved a seat for his family in his beastly heart, trying his best to keep the youth beautiful and innocent. As a result, the tragedies woven by concrete actions that are not lies or concealment are like wanting to add a crime, and someone will always bear it and someone will be held accountable.
The sun finally hid quietly. Dark clouds and thunderous roars. When German teenagers are like Jewish teenagers, there is only that moment when humanity returns to its essence. When my father finally found the empty cell, he didn't even have the strength to call out his son's name again. This Nazi officer loyal to Germany suddenly remembered the principle of equality of all beings at that moment.
There is always such a door, one side faces the good, and the other hides the evil. However, the door was closed, and the tragic scene inside could not be seen. It was also silent outside the door, leaving only the "pajamas" lying in
a mess, silently accusing the heinous crimes committed by the Nazis with the biggest roar... The beauty in our eyes was also destroyed in a mess, the blue The sky, the white clouds, and the friendship of the children, only the sad and crying figure in the heavy rain wailed, "as if to vomit out his own soul".

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas quotes

  • Herr Liszt: Yes Bruno?

    Bruno: I don't understand, the Jew is down to this one man?

    Herr Liszt: The Jew here means the entire Jewish race. If it was just this one man I'm sure something would be done about him.

    Bruno: There is such thing as a nice Jew isn't there?

    Herr Liszt: [Sarcastically] I think Bruno if you ever find a nice Jew, you'd be the best explorer in the world.

  • Father: My work is very important to our country and to you. We're working very hard to make the world better for you.
