How do the other people on the train react to Mrs. Schachter?

On the transport to Auschwitz, Elie recalls witnessing a Jewish woman named Mrs. Schächter begin to hallucinate in the corner of the cattle car. In the middle of the night, Mrs. Schächter begins screaming, "Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire!" (Wiesel, 24). Initially, the entire car breaks into a panic until they realize that she is hallucinating and attempt to calm her down. Some of the passengers place a damp towel over her forehead and sympathize with her difficult situation. After she continues to scream about seeing huge flames, the Jewish prisoners can no longer stand her piercing screams and eventually bind and gag her. Mrs. Schächter remains quiet for two hours until she begins to scream again, which prompts the other passengers to physically assault her before binding and gagging her again. After being beaten several times, Mrs. Schächter remains silently huddled in the corner until she screams about seeing massive flames in the air one last time as the transports arrive at Birkenau. This time, the Jewish prisoners look out of the tiny windows to see the flames rising from the concentration camp's crematorium and realize that her visions were prophetic.

Mrs. Schachter only appears in chapter two of Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night. However, her role in the memoir as a whole is significant. Her visions of fire on the train foreshadow the crematories visible once Wiesel and the rest of the prisoners arrive at Auschwitz. Wiesel's father even asks in chapter three if Wiesel remembers Mrs. Schachter's words, for it is then that he realizes the truth of her seemingly extravagant claims.
Yet throughout chapter two, Mrs. Schachter's visions are not recognized as such but rather as rantings. She is seen as a madwoman, a possessed woman, shouting without reason. Her son, who is her only family traveling with her, tries to quiet her. The others in the train car either pity her, as Wiesel writes that he does, or some threaten and harm her to keep her quiet. Some young men eventually tie her up and gag her to keep her quiet. When she escapes from her bonds, the men begin to strike her until she eventually grows quiet, accepting the fate that she believes they are moving toward.
