A rather short book, and a quick read. Told from the perspective of a 9 year old boy whose father is the commandant at Auschwitz, and how the boy deals (or doesn't deal) with the situation. The boy comes off as rather naive, but the author has argued that he mirrors the thoughts of his countrymen. You could call the style "understated."
