Why is the life of the Jews in the concentration camp on the projector shown as very beautiful? - Woods Covered With Snow

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas features a scene where the higher rank officers come to meet Bruno's dad, and over the projector it was shown the privileges the Jews have in the concentration camps, which Bruno sees while climbing the gate.

So what exactly did it convey? That Germans wanted to give a good life to Jews in the concentration camp which they never got?



Best Answer

Because the Nazi's master plan was to kill all the Jews. It was easier to do if they 1) hid the plan and 2) got the Jews to cooperate in the plan. So they lied, to the Jews, to other Germans, to the World. They pretended the Jews were just being relocated. Then they pretended they were just prisoners of war. Then they marched them into a "shower" where they gassed them all without them knowing it.

The projected film is pure, unadulterated propaganda, intended to make their final solution easier to happen.
