Almost everything bad that happens to Eli and his father happend at night. They were bought to the first camp Birkenau and Auschwitz at night and they witnessed the horrible sight of a truck load of children being thrown into a fiery ditch alive as their flaming corpses lit up the night sky. When they have to go to the next camp Buna it is pitch dark when they start the run towards the camp. Night also stands for the darkness of his soul. Eli felt that his heart was darkened from all the cruelty and evilness around him. Instead of concentrating on his faith in god he lets that dwindle and only focuses on warmth, food, and rest.
