I believe that Eliezer lied to Stein about Stein's family because obviously the only way to survive was have hope. So by lying about Stein's wife and childrens' whereabouts, Elie put a little bit of hope in his relative, and himself. And yes, I do believe that he was morally right too. Even though it was a lie, the news was still a stroke of good fortune to Stein.
