Many of the terrible things happen at night. Elie sees a truck load of babies throw into a fire. That fire lit up the night sky. Night is also a symbol that shows that God is not present. Elie even says that there is a dark whole that took over him. So instead of thinking about the night he concentrates on food, warmth, and rest. This is a great picture for this symbol because even though it is dark outside there is still beauty showing through and that is what Elie and the other Jews lack is beauty of the night.
