"We banded together and in our union, we found strength. We found a few others who were like us, different in language and custom, and a part of our loneliness was gone. When the winter set in we moved into the auditorium and there, although many a meal was eaten in complete silence, we felt we belonged. We struggled against the feeling of loneliness that gnawed at our souls and we overcame it; that feeling I never shared again with anyone, not even with Horse and Bones, or the Kid and Samuel, or Cico and Jasón."

It just means that these people we're very lonely and isolated and found acceptance and strength with other people who happened to be from a different culture and language. Apparently they felt they had more in common with these foreigners than with their own kind: Horse and Bones, or the Kid and Samuel, etc.
I haven't read this novel, but you might want to ask yourself what was it they had in common with the people who were of a different language and culture that they felt so strong about this bond? Why were they able to feel secure in sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings with their "own kind?"

Proverbs 3:13-15 3 mushy is the guy who shows know-how, the guy who features understanding. 14 For know-how is extra rewarding than silver, and her wages are extra advantageous than gold. 15 know-how is extra priceless than rubies; not something you like can learn along with her. the author personified know-how by calling it "her"

Even though they were different, they bonded. Their differences esentially made them one. Each was lonely in their own way, yet part of the group.
