I stayed until the end of the credits and it looks like the movie was filmed in Hungary. I plan to read the book very soon; the movie doesn't really address the location clearly, but I believe that in the book, the camp is actually supposed to be Auschwitz in Poland.

The camp is supposed to be Auschwitz. I'm reading the book right now and Bruno calls it "out-with". That's how he hears it (so he calls it that). I really want to see it, I'll probably see it this week since I'm on winter break. But knowing that I'm going to cry, I have to be in the mood, if that makes sense.
The book is good, so far, it is different because it is told from Bruno's POV and he see's the world so differently because he is only 9 (in the book). It is somewhat refreshing that WW2 and the Holocaust is being told from an "innocent" (he's a child) person's POV.
