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

How is the mother's defence of Herr Roller entirely ironic? The mothers irony in the mothers defence is that Herr roller has been treated badly and the sighs of that are sill there and she is being sympathetic where as the Jews are bieng treaded even worse and she has no sympathy for them.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

What role does Kotler represent historically in the novel? (think beyond being a soldier) Kolter is represented as a typical Nazi supporter at the time, as he thinks that all Jews should be treated as criminals, treated as slaves, are beneath everyone else and should all be executed.                     

What character is Kotler juxtaposed with in this chapter? What effect does it have on understanding each of these characters? Kolter is Juxtaposed with Pavel. Kolter is juxtaposed with Pavel as he is a Jew who is treated horribly by the Nazi's where as Kolter is a Nazi living in Luxury.

How would you compare the interaction Bruno has with Pavel to all the other interactions Bruno has had with adults? 

Why is juxtaposition a key technique e  mployed in Holocaust texts? How has it been used in The Boy in the Striped PJ's?
