In Chapter 7, Bruno decides that he will build a tire swing to occupy his time at Out-With. While Bruno is swinging, he kicks his feet against the tree to go higher, but slips and falls off the tire. Bruno scrapes his hands, and there is a nasty cut on his elbow. There is also a gash in Bruno's knee which is bleeding. Pavel, the waiter who was standing by the window, had watched Bruno fall and ran outside to help him. Pavel carried Bruno across the lawn and cleaned his wounds when they entered the house. When Bruno's mother sees what happened to him, Bruno tells her that Pavel cleaned and bandaged his wounds. Bruno's mother sends him to his room, and Bruno overhears her tell Pavel that if the Commandant asks, she cleaned Bruno's wounds. The reason Bruno's mother does not want Pavel to tell the Commandant that he cleaned Bruno's wounds is because of the Commandant's negative feelings towards Jewish people. Pavel is Jewish, and the Commandant would be disgusted that a Jew touched his German son. Bruno's father is extremely prejudiced, and he is in charge of the systematic annihilation of the Jews at Auschwitz.
