Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
Just finished reading the said book after my wife had read it saying what a shock at the end. I have to say what a well written book. Very thought provoking.

I'm a Holocaust educator and whilst it is a moving piece of fiction, there are so many issues with the book from a historical perspective that cause lots of issues in developing understanding of the Holocaust. I spend a lot of my time as an educator unpicking incorrect assumptions from the book and film especially with children.
If anyone is interested this link explains some of the issues holocaustlearning.uk/lat...riped-pyjamas/

Oh what a coincidence I literally watched the film today! I have to say the portrayal of Bruno’s family did bother me as I know the reality of what was happening was very different. I was really torn at the end as felt bad for Bruno and his family and I know this was not where my sympathy should lie.

I thought the book was much better than the movie.
The House of Special Purpose by the same author is also an excellent read.

Wow. What an awesome role to have. All credit to you.
Do you ever fancy doing a post about what you do? I would be so interested in this.
