In Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie's neighbor in the hospital tells Elie he has the most faith in whom?

It's
ironic indeed that Elie's fellow Jewish prisoner in the hospital should have the most faith in
Hitler, of all people. This is the man, after all, who murdered over six million Jews during the
Holocaust and would've murdered even more if he'd had the chance.

But therein
lies the faith of the hospital patient. Throughout his whole experience of the war, he's
discovered that Hitler is the only man who's kept his promises. He said that he would annihilate
the Jews and that's exactly what he's in the process of doing. It's come to something when a Jew
can say this.

What it illustrates is the way in which so many people have
deluded themselves as to the true nature of Nazi rule and what it involves. Elie himself was
particularly scathing of the Jews of Sighet for downplaying the horrors of German occupation. It
seemed that many people preferred comforting lies to the harsh, unvarnished truth. But what they
should've done was to take Hitler at his word. When he said he would destroy the Jews, he meant
it. That only a few people like the hospital patient have understood this point is tragic
indeed.
