How can I connect media works (a poem, film, or painting) to this passage from The Boy in the Striped Pajamas? "Those people ....well... they're...

This is a very interesting assignment.  I have found some interesting sites for you to investigate.  As far as paintings are concerned, there are two paintings that I think will support the passage that you have chosen.  One is "Arrival at Birkenau" and the other is "In the Gestapo Cellar".  Both paintings are by Ella Liebermann-Shiber.  I found them at the web http://art.holocaust-education.net/home.asp?langid=1site (Listed below)  There is other art there also.  I went into explore and...

Poetry was found on another site.  The poems I thought would support your passage are "Holocaust" by Barbara Sonek and another titled "Holocaust" by Sudeep Pagedar.  I found these at http://www.auschwitz.dk/id6.htm. (See below) 


For films, you might look at Life is Beautiful, a 1997 film in which a Jewish father tries to make a game out of their imprisonment for his young son.  This could be used as a comparison of the two boys.  The other one you might look at is Auswitz, which was made in 2011 and chronicles the short period of time Auswitz was in existence.
