Bruno, 9 years old, lives in Germany and his father is a Nazi Official. When Hitler gives the orders to father that he has to live Poland for his new job, Bruno's family moves from a 5 story house in Germany, to a 3 story house in Poland.
When Bruno and his family moves to Poland, Bruno doesn't like it at all. He thinks the house is too small and there isn't enough room anywhere. Bruno looks out his window from his room and sees that there is a fence in his backyard. He walks outside to his backyard and to the fence. He finds a small boy on the other side of the fence and he walks to him.
Bruno talks to the boy and asks him, what his name is and asks why he is wearing striped pajamas. The boy replies, "I'm Shmuel and the guards gave everyone these clothes when they took ours." Bruno introduces himself to Shmuel and tells him where he was from but then he moved to Poland because of his family.
Later they become close friends and eventually Shmuel went into Bruno's house to clean dishes with his small fingers. The guard with the family, Lieutenant Kotler, went outside and Bruno asked Shmuel if he was hungry, Shmuel replied yes. Bruno fed him a lot of food because Shmuel wasn't fed a lot of food when he was at the camp. Lieutenant Kotler finds out Shmuel was eating food without his permission and is sent back to the camp.
Bruno and Shmuel didn't get to see each other for days due to the rainy weather and Bruno was worried if Shmuel might have forgotten about him. Bruno waits till the weather is nice and he went to go see Shmuel. Shmuel was still waiting for Bruno at the other side of the fence and they sat down talked for a while. Bruno pointed out that he wished his and Shmeul could play together. Bruno got an idea. Bruno said he would dig a hole to the other side and him and Shmuel could play together. Eventually Bruno makes the hole and they meet. Shmuel found Bruno some Striped Pajamas he could wear so he looked the same as the other
Eventually Bruno and Shmuel were told they had to take a shower. They had to take a shower with all the others in the camp and very soon found out they were being killed with a gas in the showers.
