The story

Bruno, an eight-year-old German boy living in Berlin, is uprooted to the countryside with his family after his father Ralf, an SS officer, is promoted.

Ralf arranges for Herr Liszt, a private tutor, to home school Bruno and his elder sister, Gretel.

They meet at the fence regularly, and Bruno learns Shmuel is a Jew brought to the camp with his parents.
