The main conflict throughout the novel involves the circumstances surrounding Bruno and Shmuel's friendship. Since Bruno is the son of a Nazi Commandant and Shmuel is a Jewish prisoner, their friendship is forbidden. Bruno and Shmuel are forced to meet in secret and talk between the fence that separates them. Despite the fact that they cannot play together and are forbidden from interacting, Bruno and Shmuel develop a strong friendship. Shmuel listens to Bruno, and Bruno brings Shmuel food each trip.

At Auschwitz, the boys' friendship was forbidden, but in death, they are given the chance to be together for eternity.
