Chłopiec w pasiastej piżamie

The contrast between the children's perspectives is striking. I wonder what inspired the choice to keep the story so focused on their naive view of the world.

Bruno's innocence made me root for him, but it also highlighted the horrors around him. Was this intentional to evoke empathy or discomfort?

The narrative's restricted view intensifies the emotional impact, but I'm curious whether the author considered other storytelling angles.
