MAJOR SPOILER!! At the end of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008), while looking for Shmuel's father Bruno and Shmuel are huddled with a group of men in a barrack. Rain begins to fall. They are told they are going home soon, and go underground; to which Bruno believes they are getting out of the rain. The prisoners are ordered to strip, (this is very non-explicit) and are shoved in a metal room. Other prisoners (known as sonderkommandos) reassure them, "It's just a shower"
A sonderkommando then shuts the door and a Nazi with a gas mask pours some of the poison (Known as "Zyklon B") into it.

Bruno's father is barely there in time to save the two, and he knows what happens. You can hear smoke crackling towards the end, signifying that they burned the bodies. Elsa screams her son's name while Gretel stares in awe. The film closes with the changing room, and the prisoner's uniforms waiting for the cycle to happen again.
