Abstract

In 1933, Hannah Arendt fled Nazi-Germany, she first arrived in Paris and later settled in USA. Here, she rose to become the pre-eminent thinker of her time.

Ken Krimstein depicted her moving fate in his widely appreciated graphic novel. In accordance with Arendt's thesis that for humans, thinking and living falls into one, he presents Arendt's philosophy in penetrating sketches, without ignoring the philosophy of Heidegger and Benjamin, both of which were central for Arendt's own thinking.
