What is The Boy in Striped Pyjamas about?

Bruno is unhappy when his family leaves Berlin for a lonely house beside a mysterious camp. With little to do, he explores the garden and meets Shmuel, a boy on the other side of a fence. Although they come from very different worlds, the two boys form a powerful friendship. Bruno does not understand why Shmuel is trapped or why he wears striped clothes, but as their secret meetings continue, the truth about the camp—and the dangers surrounding them—becomes impossible to ignore.
