What is the irony in "How well they were treating me! Like an orphan! I thought: even now, my father is still helping me" (Night pg 75)?

Irony, in its broadest sense, is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what appears, on the surface, to be the case, differs radically from what is actually the case.
Apparently someone thinks it is ironic to mention "orphan" and "father" together. This is a rather poor example, since every orphan has a father.
