Mrs. Schachter foreshadows what will happen in the future.Many think she has gone crazy because her family had been split by the German officers. This quote from the book took place on the train to their first camp. As they got off the train, they saw flames, that smelled like flesh.
"Look! Look at this fire! This terrible fire! Have mercy on me!",screams Mrs. Schachter.
"In front of us, those flames. In the air, the smell of burning flesh."
Recent event:
Another racial conflict that occurred at the same time was the Japanese American being sent to camps. The United States government thought that the Japanese Americans might be spies for Japan. Jews and Japanese were both being sent to camps depending on the race, even though they lived in the country since their birth. Secondly, the Japanese and the Jews felt that something bad might happen to them. However, the Japanese were not tortured as much as the Jews were.
