Writer-director Mark Herman took on tough material when he chose to adapt "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." The 2006 young-adult novel by John Boyne cleaves to a young boy's point of view and his unlikely friendship with a concentration camp inmate to construct an allegory about the Holocaust. Having overheard grown-up conversations, the boy refers to Auschwitz as "Out-With" and the Fuehrer as "the Fury," devices that the film cannot depend upon. Translating this dark fable to the screen, Herman for the most part maintains the book's oversimplification of historical events, but he nonetheless crafts an affecting drama that refuses to soft-pedal its harrowing conclusion.
