The Boy In Striped Pyjamas

Myster C and I have been learning lots about WWII recently and we decided to watch The Boy In Striped Pyjamas. I can only say that it was a very,very sad and touching portrayal of life in Gemany during the war. Told from the view of a small German lad who's dad was an SS Comandant in charge of a camp for Jews. The boy's friendship with a little Jewish boy left him questioning and wondering about his parents views but the horror of it all remained so far away for him as his education and propaganda left him believing that maybe Jews were different and should be treated as such and that the camps were okay. It was well worth the watch and the ending left us both numb and the truth of the atrocity firmly imprinted on our hearts and minds. It opened up a huge conversation about the Holocaust, something which we had only briefly touched on before, and I'm really glad we watched it.
