Who are presented as victims in this chapter and what are the victims of? Do you think that it is fair to consider them victims?

Bruno and the mother are represented in this chapter as the victims in this chapter they are the victims of the allies bombs and shells I believe that it is fair to consider them as victims as Bruno is just a young boy and him and his mother have not done any harm to anyone. Also a lot of books and movie's are very one sided about the holocuast because not all Germans believed that killing Jews and doing the terrible thing that happened the right thing to be doing.
Irony is an important element of the story. How is it used here in the first chapter? Give examples to support your answer.

Irony is used in the first chapter as the Bruno and mother are the victims but the father is a Nazi high person and causing so much pain and anguish. but we are meant to feel sorry for someone that is very well of financially.
