If you have any questions or comments on my, project, put them on this post. Thanks!
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a 233 pages story by John Boyne about the Holocaust. Bruno's dad is a Nazi soldier. Bruno and his family live in Berlin and they are all very happy there. But when they have to move because of Father's job, Bruno is very upset. He hates their new house and gets very curious when he sees "a farm" that is actually a concentration camp. He gets curious and asks his family, but they say to stay away. One day Bruno can't resist and goes up to the fence, where he meets a skinny, frail boy named Schmuel. They meet and Bruno sneaks some food for him. Then one day, Schmel's father is missing and Bruno asks Schmuel if he can go into the camp. Schmuel thinks he is crazy, but says yes. Then they go into the camp. But they just had to choose the day when they are going to kill of the entire concentration camp in a gas chamber. They think Bruno is a Jew, so he and Schmuel get killed together. His family figures out what has happened, and they are very sad and feel like they could have prevented it (which they could have). This book was very sad, but also very well written.
This looks like a great project idea! What info do you have on the yellow cards around the perimeter of the star?
