The Irish author of world-famous novel The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas has rejected criticisms that he did not research the Holocaust.
John Boyne, 50, from Dublin, also dismissed claims of a row with the Auschwitz Museum and defended himself against accusations on Twitter of cultural appropriation and vowed not to respond to online trolls.
He was speaking after announcing his book’s sequel, some 16 years after his book The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas became a worldwide hit in 2006.
