Bruno jokes how he looks like Shmuel, but then he realises a plan so Shmuel can find his dad. Bruno disguises himself with the prison clothes and hides with Shmuel until they end up getting killed in the gas chamber.

“...Despite the mayhem that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go.”

“The thing about exploring is that you have to know whether the thing you've found is worth finding. Some things are just sitting there, minding their own business, waiting to be discovered. Like America. And other things are probably better off left alone. Like a dead mouse at the back of the cupboard.”

“What exactly was the difference? He wondered to himself. And who decided which people wore the striped pajamas and which people wore the uniforms?”

“Don't make it worse by thinking it's more painful than it actually is.”
