What are two moments in the book Night that gave you hope?

There are few moments throughout the novel that inspire hope in the reader as Elie recalls his horrific experience surviving the Holocaust. During the selection process in chapter 5, the reader has hope after Elie's father survives the first selection despite his dire conditions and waning health. Elie is excited that his father has passed the first selection, and a few days go by before the Blockälteste reports that some prisoners will be forced to endure another round of selections. Before Elie's father leaves for the second selection, he gives his son a knife and spoon, which Elie refers to as his inheritance. The reader is filled with anguish and sympathizes with Elie's difficult situation. Fortunately, Elie's father miraculously survives the second selection, and the reader is filled with a sense of hope. Elie says,

Were there still miracles on this earth? He was alive. He had passed the second selection. He had still proved his usefulness. . . . I gave him back his knife and spoon (Wiesel, 76).

Toward the end of chapter 5, the Russian Army closes in on the concentration camp, and the Jewish prisoners have hope that the Russians will arrive before their evacuation. The reader is also filled with a sense of hope that the Russian Army will capture the camp and liberate the Jewish prisoners. Unfortunately, Elie and the rest of the Jewish prisoners are forced to evacuate the camp in the middle of the night before the Russian Army arrives and liberates them.
