The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: ...Despite the mayhem that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go. Also a Tear Jerker.
  • Complete Monster: The soldiers. Lieutenant Kotler being a brutal example, as he once beat one Jewish servant to death.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Parents will not have pleasant dreams for quite a while after this.
  • Tear Jerker: See Downer Ending on the Main Page.
  • What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: Yes, it's a story about two boys from vastly different backgrounds overcoming their differences and becoming true friends... but it's still about the Holocaust.
