It deals with a point of view not often seen in books about this topic, the German side. It shows how some Germans were afraid, how some turned a blind eye, and how many young children may have been unaware in a large sense. It is certainly a book that you have to have some background to really appreciate, but I think most high school students have the knowledge to understand and pull apart this book in all its nuances. I would recommend it&#8230;.sometimes controversy is a good thing if it gets people talking about such a difficult subject. Amy Inglis Barrington Library<br \/>Discussion page for <em>The Boy in the Striped Pajamas<\/p>\n<p>This book actually has a lot of bad reviews. The problem is that kids don&#8217;t get the allegory, I can see the book being useful in a classroom discussion about the holocaust but if it is read out of context there is room for a lot of misunderstandings. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing the movie. I hope it works better in film. Gail Zachariah, Keene Public Library<\/p>\n<p>There is some controversy surrounding this book (Revisionist Holocaust history &#8211; it&#8217;s connected to the spate of Holocaust movies that have come out in the last few months). Although I enjoyed reading the book, I think there are better Holocaust books out there if you want to add a Holocaust book. &#8211; Kelly Budd, Keene High School<\/p>\n<p>Not only did I enjoy this book, but 14 teens read and enjoyed this book as well. It was an excellent choice for our teen book discussion group.
