Chapter 7: How Mother Took Credit for Something She Hadn't Done


  1. How is the mother's defence of Herr Roller entirely ironic?
  2. What role does Kotler represent historically in the novel? (think beyond being a soldier)
  3. What character is Kotler juxtaposed with in this chapter? What effect does it have on understanding each of these characters?
  4. How would you compare the interaction Bruno has with Pavel to all the other interactions Bruno has had with adults?
  5. Why is juxtaposition a key technique employed in Holocaust texts? How has it been used in The Boy in the Striped PJ's?
