His pronunciation of “Out-With” [p.24] remains uncorrected throughout the story as “Out-With” [p.196]. The mispronunciation and misunderstanding of Auschwitz is solid evidence of Bruno’s refusal to accept the current world that he lives in. Another prime example of Bruno’s ignorance is the mispronunciation of ‘the Fury’ [p.2], despite his father’s attempts to fix his incompetency as the eldest son of a Nazi soldier, Bruno’s response simply; ‘Oh… never mind…” [p.117]…

Fuhrer of the German Reich and people, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. And that I shall at all times be ready, as a brave soldier, to give my life for this oath…” (Singer et al., 2008). This specific quote taken directly from the film outlines the absolute power of Hitler’s reign over Germany.

Sometimes she would fall asleep slumped forward onto the side of the…

An instance of this is from a man named Tomi Ungerer who was apart of the Hitler youth, “His teachers encouraged his students to inform on his parents. ‘We were promised a reward of money if we denounced our parents or our neighbours - what they said or did... We were told: Even if you denounce your parents, and if you should love them, your…
