Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the main stages of controlled world comprehension by the child in war period. The literary model of children’s consciousness is presented in the novel "The Boy in Striped Pyjamas" by J. Boyne as an integral and systematic process. The nature of children’s consciousness is mainly influenced by the principles of education and the environment which surround the child. The self-consciousness of children characters is marked as significantly high and it constantly develops from the awareness of their social status to a particular nation affiliation. Despite the different ways of the world cognition, peers who belong to different nations and have considerably opposite living conditions are united by friendship and genuine child sincerity.
