Shmuel is saddened by this news, since he won't have anyone to talk to anymore. When Bruno asks him if he hates Father, too, Shmuel says nothing but wonders how Bruno could be the son of such a hateful person.īruno tells Shmuel that he is returning to Berlin. He vehemently says that he hates the soldiers, too.
