How do the Jews react to Madame Schacters behavior?

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.
