Abraham Maslow created a model for human behavior based on needs.These needs are what we need for survival and to flourish. ” Human needs are arranged in a hierarchy, with physiological (survival) needs at the bottom, and the more creative and intellectually oriented, ‘Self- actualization’ needs at the top” (McLeod). Readers can clearly see how these needs were violated in the death camp. Prisoners were deprived of food. The prisoners were lucky if they were given a piece of bread and a bowl of soup. Elie describes, “I was so hungry and thirsty” (Wiesel 95). This shows that prisoners often when hungry, in fact most prisoners starve to death. This violates Maslow’s physiological needs.

Yes, you are lucky.”( Wiesel 70) Families were separated as soon as they entered the camp.
