In the movie The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, the director Mark Herman illustrates a book written by John Boyne. The movie depicts what occurred during the Holocaust showing both sides, the Jews and the Germans.

His simple little friendship with Shmuel turns from innocence to death. So many Jews were killed during this violent film, including Shmuel's father and Bruno who both went missing one day.
