Kotler

Kotler liked a variety of people including Bruno, his sister, and his mother. I wouldn't necessarily consider the children or Bruno's mother evil people. Misguided...... definitely. We couldn't know if they were evil unless we were apprised of what they really knew about the camp and Bruno's father's job. I will assume his mother knew what was going on and pretended it wasn't. This makes her guilty of doing nothing, but it doesn't mean she had any control over it.
