Definitely. The book and the movie 'Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' are based on the true context of the Holocaust. It tells the story through the eyes of a young boy who doesn't fully understand the situation. This naive perspective combined with the real - life backdrop of the camps makes it a very sad and moving account of that historical time.
Yes, it is. The story is set during the Holocaust and while it may be fictionalized, it is based on the real - life horror of the concentration camps. It shows the innocence of children in the face of extreme evil, which makes it extremely heart - wrenching.
