I think this title was chosen because the story is basically how Bruno made a friend who he thought was wearing striped pajamas but in reality it was his concentration camp uniform. The setting takes place in the early 1940’s during the Holocaust time in Germany near Auschwitz, a famous concentration camp. In order for a novel to be great there has to be a well explained plot.
