    Hannah Arendt focuses on one of the most important explanations of what exactly happened to the zeitgeist of the average German Joe during the Second World War. Arendt, a Jew, was stripped of her German nationality in 1937 and fled the country to the United States. Here, she established herself as a public thinker, a philosopher of the masses, and in this capacity, she reported for ‘The New Yorker’ in what is still the highly debated trial of one of the Holocaust’s major organizers: Adolf Eichmann.
