This session will re-consider Hannah Arendt's (in)famous book 'Eichmann in Jerusalem.' It will focus primarily on passages that highlight Arendt's use of irony and comedy. We will use the passages as a departure point for a broader discussion of how to relate to a Jewish past full of persecution.
Judah is a PhD candidate in Religion, Ethics, and Politics at Princeton University. He is writing a dissertation on Jewish theological themes in the writings of Hannah Arendt.
