Hannah Arendt: A Life in Dark Times

Short Thoughts: I picked this up on whim having confused Hannah Arendt and Simone Weil. They are in fact different people although they were of the same generation, both were philosophers, both were significantly impacted by WWII. But Weil died during WWII and Arendt lived until the 1970s.

This is a brief biography, but it was good for the quick introduction I was looking for. And it was good for the change of reading pace that I needed. It also reminded me of how impotent the holocaust was and how much I really need to dig into it deeper.

My slightly longer review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/hannah-arendt/
