I watched the film on PBS Friday evening, its first night of airing. The photos and film clips of the times gave me a deeper sense of the perilousness of her situation and to be "stateless." Sad to know that she stopped writing poetry after the time of Eichmann in Jerusalem.
Wow, thanks for sharing this link! I've been meaning to read Arendt's work for ages, have collected a few of her books. I look forward to viewing this.
Very moved by Hannah Arendt on PBS. Wonderful you could be part of that. Somehow it brought to mind a quote from Rahel Varnhagen:" An idea is hammering at me, almost splitting my head in two. What if the future doesn’t face us head-on, doesn’t lie in front of us, but rather wells up over us from behind?"

During her escape from Europe, Hannah Ardent spent time in Montauban, France. Do you know of anything she wrote dealing with her time she spent there?

Samantha Rose Hill is a fine source for deep dives into Arendt's writings.
Thank you!
