What Hawthorne cares about, and it comes up constantly throughout the book, is the inheritance that accompanies the Pyncheons and lead them down to a bitter path: "weakness, defects, dark passions, the tendency to do the evil and the moral weaknesses that lead to crime pass from one generation to another".
Bruno is sheltered by his family. He lives in the midst of a death camp, but his mother and father keep him innocent of what happens on the other side of the fence. Shmuel is a different story. He also shelters Bruno. Shmuel hints at things and reveals what happened to his home and family but goes mo further. There are multitude of boys at the camp, but they are kept isolated. This would account for shmuels remaining innocence.
