Maslow’s Hierarchy

Maslow's Hierarchy works against the characters in the book I'm reading " The Night Triology" because of how the Jews are slowly stripped of their needs to succeed in life. First the published numerous racial slurs in the newspapers on a daily basis degrading the Jews and making them feel lower then ever one else. The felt that the weren't part of the German culture or any culture by the way and felt that other peoples love and affection didn't exist between them. Next, the Jews were removed from their homes and placed into ghettos where they had to scavenge for food and water. By doing this, this placed the Jews into closer danger, but the could do nothing about it. Slowly, the Nazi's and other hatred people starved, and made the Jews walk miles to the train tracks to be shipped off to concentration camps to be executed or work for very long hours. Elie is a young boy in Hungary when this is all happening and him and his family must go through the grueling pains. What I just explained is a great example of a real life situation of Maslow's Hierarchy in effect.
