Puns

Puns are often humorous plays on words, but in this book, they take on a serious tone when you think about they're meanings. What are the double meanings of: "Out-With" and "The Fury"?

  1. Out with means "Out with" the jews, fury means how angry the fuhrer is.

  2. He chose these because he wasnt completely sure what these were because he is only 9 years old. And he thought that doing the "Heil Hitler" was just saying "Good day" or something else, but Bruno had no idea.

  4. Since autchwitz is a concentration and extermination camp, Out With is a pun because they did away with the Jews, homosexuals, etc. In the gas chamber. "out with Jews"
