How are Madame Schachter and Moishe the Beadle different?

Moishe the Beadle was a poor foreign Jew who lived alone in the town of Sighet. He was a good friend of Eliezer and taught him the Zohar before he was deported by the Hungarian police. When Moishe returned to the village, he told the community of Sighet about the horrors he witnessed in the Galician forest. Unfortunately, none of the Jewish citizens believed Moishe and thought that he was a madman.

Unlike Moishe the Beadle, Madame Schachter is a woman in her fifties with a family. She was separated from her husband and two older sons during the first transport which made her lose her mind. While she rode in the cattle cars with the other Jews, she would scream "Look at the fire! Look at the flames! Flames everywhere..." (Wiesel 26). She seemed to be hallucinating, and the other passengers believed she was delirious. Eventually, her cries became reality when the Jews first witnessed the crematoriums at Auschwitz.

Both characters come from different backgrounds and families. Also, Moishe the Beadle actually witnessed the Nazis massacre the foreign Jews, while Madame Schachter simply envisioned the crematoriums at Auschwitz. Moishe also openly warned the Jews, while Schachter's message was ambiguous and hard to interpret.
