Talk:The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Not really that good?

I'd like to make the suggestion that a 'Criticism' section is added to this article, exploring the voices raised against it for its falsifying of tragic events and glaring inaccuracies.

Completely agree on this. The commander of the camp was Rudolf Hoess who had 4 children and 0 died in the gas. It is very sad that this book is mixing facts with fiction and there is no warning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.98.88.168 (talk) 19:47, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

While Rudolf Hoess was in charge of Auschwitz, this story doesn't specify any particular camp name. Also, a work of fiction within a factual historic background is not a new idea, nor does it undermine accuracy. Many of the crtiscisms (such as assuming alll children under 10 were immediately gasssed or that it was impoossible for a part of the fence to be unmoitored) are based on comparrison of the book with the general norm.

Gretel is now 91?

I was looking through the page and I saw that Gretel was 91 in the sequel. It shows a source which I can't look through because it's blocked behind a paywall so is that really accurate? Mcmcmcmc23 (talk) 15:11, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
