The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: This movie is about an 8 year old German boy who befriends an 8 year old Jewish boy during the Holocaust. The German boy's family moves near a concentration camp where the boy's father works as a soldier. While out exploring he finds a Jewish boy behind the fence of the camp and with the curiosity for each other, they become friends when they know they belong as enemies. This relates to The Book Thief because it describes the friendship between Liesel and Max. Though Liesel is German, and Max is Jewish, they learn to be friends. Both The Book Thief and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas are amazing, emotion stirring stories to read and watch.
