I wanted to include this map because it show where most of the story was based. As said in the book, Bruno’s dad is an SS solider, and as you can see in the top right there is an SS Headquarters. Also Auschwitz is the concentration camp that Shmuel and his missing father were being held at.
My understanding of the novel was deepened by this picture of a map by seeing how big the concentration camp actually was. It was huge, and now you can see that the SS Headquarters was right beside the camp, so you can tell it was easy for Bruno to go see Shmuel.
This is a map I drew of Berlin Germany, which is where Bruno and his family came from. I felt I should include this because it shows where Bruno and his family used to live and it is just another place in the book that is mentioned.
This deepened my understanding about the book to see the distance from Berlin and the concentration camp Bruno and his family was staying at.

Hi Daniel,
ReplyDeleteAppropriate locations to feature to broaden understanding of these ugly times. I've never seen the concentration camps in Germany and Poland. I'm not sure I want to.
I'll be back to your blog to evaluate.

I think it would be interesting but yet terrifying.
