Arendt was Jewish, German-born and originally a student of Heidegger, whom she rebelled against in part because of his anti-semitism and Nazi sympathies. She befriended Walter Benjamin and worked with him in Paris. She succeeded in escaping to the US, where she later acquired citizenship. “The distinction between violent and non-violent action is that the former is exclusively bent upon the destruction of the old, and the latter is chiefly concerned with the establishment of something new.” ― Hannah Arendt View high resolution
