The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Danny Says
I must confess that I have not seen the movie version of this excellent book about two boys living beside one another in Poland who discover they share the same birthdate. One lives outside the fence, and the other lives within the fence wearing striped pajamas. The boy on the outside never knew what his father did for a living, and this book strengthens my theory that some of the best stories of atrocities like the Holocaust are told from the points of view of children (see The Diary of Anne Frank).
