Explanation:
Mrs. Schachter is in a cattle car with other Jews who have been taken by the Nazis. These people have no idea where they are being driven to. The soldiers' treatment of them so far suggests that it won't end well for them when they reach their destination. Mrs. Schachter's responses to being crowded into a cattle car with a large number of other individuals and driven off to an unknown location reflect those of the rest. They are terrified of what is about to happen. Her screams are also so obnoxious and constant that they make the other prisoners extremely uncomfortable and anxious. Once they've had enough of her antics they decide to have her bound, gagged, and beaten. They later discover that Mrs. Schachter was correct. They do disembark in Auschwitz, where victims are gassed in rooms and corpses are cremated in ovens.
