of what does the mad madame Schachter warn the group? how does the group react to her at variuos itmes on the journey? what is the significance of her vision?

Madame Schaechter is in the same train car as Eliezer during the initial deportation to Auschwitz. She had been separated from her husband and two older sons, and she is accompanied by another younger son. She loses her mind during the journey and screams hysterically and repeatedly about a flaming furnace that she apparently sees in the distance. She terrifies the other occupants of the train, and she is repeatedly beaten by young men trying to silence her.Her visions of a burning sky indeed become prophetic when the train arrives at the camp.
