Mrs. Schacter symbolizes the crematoriums and the fate of the Jews. On the train she was screaming, "Fire! I see fire!" But in reality there was no fire, until they got to Aushwitz and saw the chimneys from the crematoriums.
Elie said he was ill when he was sent to the dentist, so that he doesn't have to get his golden crown taken out. The dentist ends up getting arrested, for taking gold teeth and crowns for his own gain. Later Elie allows his crown to be taken out with a rusty spoon.
