Question

Explain Bruno’s thoughts about the “people in the striped pajamas”. Why, do you suppose, hasn’t he thought more about them before?

Answer 1

Answer:

Through the glass window, Bruno sees the prisoners and buildings of Auschwitz—and the more he looks, the more he wants to understand what they're doing and who they are. The window, then, represents a loss of innocence for our main man (er, boy).
