In Chapter 3 of Elie Wiesel's Night, what are some acts of kindness and signs of hope in the midst of the brutal inhumanity?

Chapter 3 is one of the most pivotal in the novel because this is where Elie is separated from his mother and sisters and essentially where the ties to his childhood and former life officially are severed. Kindness and hope take on new faces in within the walls of the camps. A prisoner helps Elie and his father stay alive and together by offering the tip to lie about their ages. Elie finds that he's been blessed by the mud God created to keep his own shoes, even if it is only for a little while. There is one Polish guard who tells the men that, "Hell doesn't last forever". He also tells the men to stick together and honor their camaraderie because that will help them survive what is to come. Elie reflects that this guards words were, "The first human words." Up until that point, for more than a week they had been treated like animals, at best. After that first night, Elie and the others took comfort in the sunshine and the people who they recognized. Elie offers hope to a man in search of his wife and children and Elie gives him false hope so that he has the will to live, if only for a little while longer.
