The Grandmother didn’t like this job. She said that perhaps it was her fault because she disguised him when he was a child and played in her show.

That's why Bruno became more similar to Shmuel and children in the camp. Nobody could recognize him when he got to the camp. In the movie Bruno just hid his hair under a cap.

There were lot’s of soldiers and grandfather watching it. It was example of the manipulation German people. We could suppose that most of Germans didn’t know all the truth about holocaust. There is no such scene in the book.

In the movie we could see when Bruno and Shmuel came naked to the room which was closed. Later we could see a soldier pouring Cyklon B through the opening in the roof. We heard people screaming and later it was only silence. We are sure that all was dead. His family understood what happened.
 In the book we know that Bruno and Shmul went to the room and the door was cloused. He still was holding Shmuel’s hand. We are sure that they dead, but his family was not. They supposed even that Bruno could go to Berlin, but in our opinion father thought as much when he took a look at fance near Bruno’s clothes.

It was very long way.
