Which character did Bruno befriend in the camp?

• A. Pavel
• B. Grandmother
• C. Shmuel
• D. Herr Liszt

Answer: (C)

Bruno befriends Shmuel, a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp’s fence. The scene happens when Bruno, curious and kind despite the world around him, meets Shmuel near the barrier, and they talk, share simple stories, and form a genuine friendship across the divide. This relationship highlights how innocence can bridge even the stark separation created by the camp, making their bond a central emotional thread of the story. The other characters—Pavel, Grandmother, and Herr Liszt—are part of Bruno’s life in different settings, but none of them become the friend he forms with someone inside the camp.
