Well, in the book they get taken on a death march into a big room. Bruno believes that it is a room to keep them dry until the rain stops. It does not specifically say how they died in the book, yet after some research you will find that the room that they were brought into was a gas chamber (unknown to them). These chambers were common in Nazi concentration camps. They found it an easy way to kill of the prisoners. Most prisoners were innocent, and randomly picked to die. These chambers were filled with poisonous gas, so they most likely just suffocated from the gas.
