HANNAH ARENDT

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was a German American writer  political scientist and Holocaust
survivor. She remains widely regarded as one of the most influential political theorists of the
20th century. Born into a German-Jewish family in Hanover  she spent her childhood in Hanover
as well as in Königsberg  Prussia. She began her studies in philosophy at the University of
Marburg in 1924 and received her doctorate from the University of Heidelberg in 1929. Her
philosophical writings are characterised by a strong rebuke of totalitarianism  Nazism  racism
and imperialism. Once the Nazi's came to power in 1933  she was briefly imprisoned for
performing illegal research into antisemitism. Upon her release  she lived in exile in Paris 
where she lived until she fled persecution for the United States in 1941. Ten years later  she
was naturalised as an American citizen. While in the US  Arendt wrote some of her most
significant works  including The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) and The Human Condition
(1958). She also taught philosophy at the University of Chicago and later  at the New School
for Social Research in New York City  where she resided until her death in 1975. This bookend
