During the Second World War, the Führer reigned in Germany. Bruno's father is a Nazi officer. Bruno learns that they will host the Führer at their house for dinner one day. This is very exciting for him and his household, as the Führer is said to be an important person. That dinner, however, Bruno's father gets a promotion. While this is very encouraging news, it is not for Bruno. Because the family has to move to Auschwitz. This means that Bruno leaves his beloved home and friends. The new house is pretty boring for Bruno. There are no houses around their house except the soldiers. Bruno, on the other hand, hates soldiers.
