It won’t be long before there’s nobody left who can personally recollect the trauma caused by World War II.  Being only a young boy when he first saw a picture of the effects of the gas chambers – an image that sticks with him to this day – director Mark Herman wanted to make sure that no one forget or grow complacent with the past.  When he read an early draft of John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, he knew immediately it was a story he had to make.   Shown from the perspective of a naïve German boy, the film stands as a testament to youthful bliss and the equality of people regardless of nationality.  The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a film for future generations, bearing a message that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
