Born in Germany in 1906 to a Jewish family, Hannah Arendt became one of the twentieth century's most influential political thinkers. Drawing on newly uncovered archives, Thomas Meyer traces her journey from Nazi Germany to exile in Paris and New York, exploring her ideas, her relationship with Martin Heidegger, and the experiences that shaped works including The Origins of Totalitarianism and her famous concept of the "banality of evil.".
