Introduktion
Bruno, an innocent and curious eight-year-old, hails from a wealthy Berlin family, leading a somewhat sheltered and indulgent life. His aspirations involve becoming an explorer in the future.

It seems Bruno's parents shield him from the harsh reality of the concentration camp, believing him not yet prepared to comprehend such complexities.

In Bruno's world, everyone is a friend, and he might empathize with the plight of the Jews if he knew. Explaining the grim truth seems challenging – how do you tell a child, "It's a concentration camp where terrible things happen to Jews"?

Utdrag
Bruno's mother disapproves of Bruno's father's actions. She possesses a greater sensitivity and cannot come to terms with the atrocities of the Holocaust.

Personally, I hold a negative view of Bruno's father, as he engages in the unjust killing of people, abusing his power in reprehensible ways.

He remains emotionless when Lieutenant Kotler, working under him, executes Pavel, a Jewish man employed in the kitchen.

I'm doubtful that Bruno's father underwent any significant change. His callousness persists from the beginning to the end.

Perhaps he genuinely believed that his actions were righteous, viewing Jews as less than human and convincing himself that he was performing a grand service by eliminating them.
