The “Fury”

HOME

This Picture relates to our book because Hitler is what made their family move into the new “out-with” home. At first Bruno didn’t like the idea of moving into a new house so we came to a consensus that Bruno didn’t like Adolf Hitler. Also, Bruno thought Hitler was called the “Fury” but really it’s “Führer.”

This relates to the real Holocaust because Hitler was the real leader of Germany.

Relocation

HOME

This relates to our book because, if the family never moved into that new house, then Bruno would’ve never met Shmuel. But because of that move, a great friendship began between two nine-year-old boys. Their friendship was the main point in the book.

This relates to the Holocaust because many families had to get moved out of there house for many reasons.

From Indiewire

Bruno’s mom telling him their moving

Resistance

HOME

This relates to the book because Bruno’s Grandma was one of the main characters in the beginning, and she would always express her feelings on how she hated her son (Bruno’s dad) being a Nazi soldier. Then, later in the book, she passed away.

This relates to the Holocaust because people that were using resistance sometimes ended up being killed.

Borders

HOME

This thought is important in our book because, even though this story was in the past, there are still fences all over the world today. For example, there is a border between different countries such as Canada and Mexico.

This relates to the Holocaust because the Germans and the Jews were separated by a fence.

The fence that separated Jews from Germans

Understanding Stereotypes

HOME

This relates to our book because this is one of the main points. This is where Bruno first talks and interacts with a Jew. He learns about Pavel’s life before going to the Concentration Camp.

This relates to the Holocaust because the resisters understood that there was nothing wrong with Jewish people.

Intimidation

HOME

This is important in our book because this is the only time when Bruno sees Shmuel on “his side of the fence.” When Lieutenant Kotler pressures him about Shmuel, he denies ever meeting him.

This relates to the Holocaust because people would intimidate Jews and make them feel bad and small compared to everyone else.

The Truth

HOME

This relates to our book because, after Bruno dies at the camp, his dad finds his pile of clothes next to the fence. He then realizes what happened and that Bruno is never coming back.

This relates to the Holocaust because, just like in the book, the truth didn’t come out until the end—until it was too late.

Decision

HOME

This relates to what we read because, when Bruno crawls underneath the fence to the other side, that was the turning point in the book. That was where two friends that were born on the same day met one another, became best of friends, and died together.

This relates to the Holocaust because, just like Bruno, many people (resisters) made decisions like this to help out Jews.
