  5. I don't think anyone can understand why the Nazis did what they did. In a sense Bruno's father killed him. I think he knew this too. When his father sat down where he had been sitting for all those days and weeks, I think he knew exactly what happened. His clothes, the hole in the fence, his father understood. I think that's why he had to leave Auschwitz. He didn't think that it was so glorious, or important anymore. He had killed thousands of people. Bruno's father realized that he was killing kids just like his own son. All of a sudden it seemed real, and he couldn't handle it.

  15. The ending was really sad :( They died together and it was really tragic. How could the Nazis kill little kids like that?

  16. It was SAD :( but the father i think deserved it because then he can realize how it feels to loose someone close to you. Jews have to go through it everyday. they loose their family members too. maybe now he can realize that what he is doing is horrible.

  18. I was really sad when the book ended. The fact that Bruno and Shmuel died made me not like the end. The fact that the boys were holding hands made it even sadder in the end.
