Introduction:
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a film based on the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a very tragic event that happened from 1933-1945. The Holocaust was the mass murder of six million Jews. The Nazis believed that the Jews were a problem and that they needed to be removed. Adolf Hitler then came up with idea to build concentration camps. Many Jews were taken from their homes by German soldiers and were forced onto trains to be taken to concentration camps. Once at the concentration camps they were either killed, or if you were a healthy looking Jew, you were forced to work.
One of the concentration camps was called Auschwitz. Auschwitz is where the film The Boy in the Striped Pajamas took place. In the movie there is a little …show more content…

The Africans were given no respect at all. Many women were raped by the European men running the ships. If a women was pregnant, she would have to give birth in these terrible conditions. The Africans were given insufficient bathroom facilities. They were only given a bucket to relieve themselves in, but often times the bucket was not enough and messes were created everywhere.
The only food they were given was the slop that was served to them in their bare, dirty hands. One of the leaders on the ship miscalculated how much food they would need for the trip. His solution was simple, he needed to get rid of the people he could not feed. His way of getting rid of people was by drowning them, shooting them, and making conditions so bad that people started committing
