I've been trying to figure out the same thing, and this probably isn't the only answer, but here's what I think: the candy mountain stands for death. When that man with the pipe started walking around preaching about the candy mountain, everyone in the ghetto was in bad shape, so death may have been a good thing for them, hence the name candy mountain. The man may have been leading his followers to their deaths. He kind of resembles the Pied Piper who led a town's children away. Also, when Janina says the trains are taking people to candy mountain, or the concentration camps, it meant death for those people. Once again, this is definitely not the only answer, but I hope it helps.
