Arendt, Hannah, 1906-1975
Hannah Arendt was born in Linden in 1906. At the age of three her family moved to Königsberg. Arendt was raised in a politically progressive, secular family. She studied at the University of Marburg and obtained her doctorate in philosophy writing on Love and Saint Augustine at the University of Heidelberg in 1929.
Hannah Arendt encountered increasing anti-Jewish discrimination in 1930s Nazi Germany. In 1933 Arendt was arrested and briefly imprisoned by the Gestapo for performing illegal research into antisemitism in Nazi Germany. On release, she fled Germany, living in Czechoslovakia and Switzerland before settling in Paris. When Germany invaded France in 1940 she was detained by the French as an alien, despite having been stripped of her German citizenship in 1937. She escaped and made her way to the United States in 1941. She taught at many American universities, while declining tenure-track appointments. She died suddenly of a heart attack in 1975, at the age of 69.
