The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (released as The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in the United States) is a 2008 historical tragedy film written and directed by Mark Herman. It is based on the 2006 novel of the same name by John Boyne. Set in World War II, the Holocaust drama relates the horror of a Nazi extermination camp through the eyes of two 8-year-old boys: Bruno (Asa Butterfield), the son of the camp's Nazi commandant, and Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), a Jewish inmate. It was released in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2008.

The film has drawn criticism from some Holocaust educators for its factual inaccuracy, and emphasis on greater sympathy for the Nazi German family centred in the story, than for the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

וזה למה אני שונא ערבים

Hi my name is Leah Shoshana Hershkovitz. I was named after my great grandmother. I am a refugee that ran away from the concentration camp where my mother and my brother were killed by the Nazis.
Because of that, I feel sad all the time and its hard for me to smile. lately, I started learning in American school. in the school they made me wear a name tag. I was furious and frightened, I tear off the name tag because it reminded me of the yellow stars the Nazis forced me to wear.
In school i met a girl named Suzy. Suzy had yellow hair and had a false smile. Suzy`s mom gave me her old dress, She didnt liked that. She feeds me like an animal behind bars. I couldn't stand it. I didnt feel safe. The Americans said we were safe, but I heard the same from the Germans, so i didnt believe that. I dont trust the Americans in any way. I do not trust people in her new surroundings. I am terrified of being taken away from the group because when people were separated by the Nazis, they disappeared.
