Bruno is more on his mother’s side but Bruno’s sister, Gretel, agrees with everything Adolf Hitler has to say about Jews and everyone else he plants to “exterminate”. One day Shmuel stops coming, but that doesn’t stop Bruno. He keeps coming and coming. After a few days Bruno comes and notices that Shmuel is there. In a panicking way, he tells Bruno that his father is missing and he asks him to go help him go find him. But he says he must first put on a pair of striped pajamas and join him on the other
