So...

I watched The Boy in Striped Pajamas again. Still as good as the first time. It is incomprehensible that one man could hate an entire race of people so much. To have been able to have killed several thousands of them is horrifying. We try to forget it ever happened because of all of the pain and death associated with it, but if we forget, we don't learn from history's mistakes. We regress instead of progress.

Basically the story line for the movie is about the holocaust and a German family during that time. The father(in the army) is promoted so the family has to move closer to an extermination camp. And he wasn't allowed to tell anyone it was an extermination camp. So, the son, Bruno, starts asking his mom about the farmers in pajamas, a.k.a., Jews. And so he's not allowed out of the yard because of his strong curiosity. But he runs away anyway and gets to the camp and meets a lttle boy who lives there and they become friends. Tons of stuff happens in between, but eventually the boy in the camp can't find his father, because he's been killed, so Bruno tries to help him find him by sneaking over to the camp. Them and quite a few other men get ushered into a building and are told it's only a shower... then the nazis open the top and pour in gas and the little boys died together holding hands. And you can hear the men crying and beating on the doors- then it stops.

Okay, admittedly not the happiest story, but a very good, emotionally-moving one.
