The Holocaust

[NoaRiver2020]

Is the movie, The Boy in Striped Pajamas (2008) purely entertainment or can it serve as a cautionary example?

[woofgang]

I wouldn't have described it as entertainment.

[bookbinder]

I agree with woofgang. I see it more as an educational film, and certainly not as an entertaining one, if you define entertaining as amusing, or light-hearted. It's a film that serves to add to our knowledge of what happened to some people during the Second World War. As far as 'a cautionary example' is concerned, well, you could call it that, I suppose, but this film - and others like it - will probably not prevent similar things happening in other, future, wars.

I would say it's educational and it could certainly serve as cautionary. I would recommend it. The film is good - but the book is better.
