In elie wiesel's night, mrs. schachter, the "madwoman," repeatedly screams that she sees flames. when the train arrives at the concentration camp, the other jews see that in this case she is right: they see the flames from the crematorium chimney. what effect does this image have in the memoir? it is the first time that wiesel makes it clear to the reader that the jews are in danger. it proves that the flames mrs. schachter claimed to see earlier are also real. it produces the terrible realization that the real world around them is as mad as mrs. schachter. it shows that the other prisoners are seeing visions, just as mrs. schachter is.

In the book Night when they were on the train Mrs. Schachter had a vision of fire and flames, everyone thought she was crazy but when they got to the camp they came to an understanding that she was right. The Jews became afraid of what was going to happen to them since smoke was coming from the crematoriums. Since they were burning the Jew's bodies. When they got to the camp Elie along with his father had to lie about their age to save there lives. It was also the last time he saw his mother and sister when they were divided into a male and female group.

Hope this helps! :3

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
