"A transport just arrived from Antwerp. I shall go to see them tomorrow. Surely they will have news... He left. We never saw him again. He had been given the news. The real news."
I think that this passage contains a lot of power. Since Ellie lied to Stein about the situation of Stein's family, he (Stein) must have been crushed to learn the real truth, that his family was gone. Perhaps he felt disappointed that Ellie had lied to him. Ellie in turn, must have felt guilty for lying to Stein in the first place. The entire situation is simply depressing.
