Bruno is the son of a Nazi commandant; he remains innocent of the horrors of the Holocaust and befriends a prisoner at the death camp. Shmuel is a young Polish Jew who does not understand why he is in the concentration camp............Friendly means being kind and pleasant to someone or something. Friendly doesn't mean being bad or not being good in any manner or degree. In the book, Bruno was being friendly to Shmuel when he met him thats all i know
thanks @bonez

The protagonist and narrator, at the start of the novel Bruno is a nine-year-old boy living in Berlin during World War II. His Father, a Nazi officer, then moves the family to Auschwitz, Poland. As Bruno is young and cannot pronounce certain words, throughout the novel Hitler is referred to as “the Fury” (the Führer) and Auschwitz is referred to as “Out-With.” Bruno is very sheltered and naïve, and though he develops a close friendship with Shmuel, a Jewish boy in the concentration camp, Bruno has a difficult time grasping exactly how hard life is on the other side of the fence. Bruno is very interested in art and books, and loves exploring. He wants to become a soldier like his father, and though his parents never explain to him what is happening in the war, he has been indoctrinated from a young age to believe that Germany, the “Fatherland,” is superior to all other nations. Bruno is small for his age, and is very sensitive to people like Lieutenant Kotler calling him “little man.” Ultimately Bruno never gets the chance to outgrow his ignorance and innocence, as his natural empathy and friendship for Shmuel lead him to cross the fence and be killed in a gas chamber. here is this too
