Other people in the cattle cart (80 others) had, at first, thought she was saying it becasue she had really seen fire. There wasn't any. They all thought she was just dehydrated, hungry, couldn't get enough air, was thirsty, etc. but the screaming anout the fire continued. Eventually, they gag her and tie her up, but that doesn't stop her. She continues to scream. So, the people resorted to hitting her to make her quiet. The blows were so hard they could of killed her.
The nightmares of Madame Schachter's from the book "Night" foreshadowed the horrors waiting for the Jews in concentration camps. The book was written by Elie Wiesel based on his experiences in the concentration camps during the Holocaust until World War II.
How did Jews and Muslims react to the royal orders of expulsion
During the train journey, the Jews experience extreme overcrowding, lack of basic necessities like food and water, and a profound sense of fear and uncertainty. Madame Schächter, who repeatedly screams about seeing fires, is initially met with skepticism and hostility from the others, who are overwhelmed by their own fear and denial. This reaction highlights the tendency of people to dismiss or even turn against those who express fear or insight that challenges their own coping mechanisms. Ultimately, it reveals a darker aspect of human nature, where self-preservation can lead to cruelty and a lack of empathy in dire situations.
Madame Schachter's treatment on the train foreshadows the suffering and mistreatment that the Jews will face in the concentration camp. Her screams and visions represent the fear and trauma that the Jews will experience during their time in the camp, highlighting the brutality and inhumanity of the Holocaust.

Not very well, I imagine.
The Crusades were holy wars between Christians and Muslims. not Jews.
they were hoping the jews would convert
They're called "Ultra-Orthodox Jews". They are fanatical about traditional Jewish behavior and attitudes.
Jews do not define themselves by what they oppose, but by what they value and cherish. They value monotheism and ethical behavior.
They never actually did anything until 1945 and that was when most of the camps had killed all the Jews.
living according to the Torah, as much as we can.
