The reaction of Bruno's mother (Elsa) to her husband's claim that living near the Jewish Extermination Camp is their duty is total rejection, followed by her womanly resolve to relocate with the rest of the family, leaving the husband behind.
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
In John Boyne's "The Boy in Striped Pajamas," Elsa did not admire living next door to the concentration camp where Jews were being gassed to death by Nazi commanders. Unfortunately, Bruno's father is one of the Nazi commanders. Through the barbed wire fence, Bruno befriended Shmuel, a Jewish prisoner. In the end, their friendship led to Bruno suffering the same fate as Shmuel when they could not escape the fate hoisted on them from being locked in the gas chamber.
Thus, while John Boyne's novel recounts the horrors of Nazi extermination camps, Elsa shows that she cannot tolerate the sight of injustice and evil.
