In a recent article in the Times Literary Supplement, Bernard Wasserstein examined Hannah Arendt’s credentials as a historian, focusing in particular in her use of Nazi historians as authorities in her “The Origins of Totalitarianism”. The essay evoked a storm of controversy and reopened the debate over Arendt’s relationship to the Jews and Jewish history that was first ignited a generation ago by the publication of her “Eichmann in Jerusalem”. In this lecture Wasserstein considers some of the latest contributions to the debate and the broader implications of the controversy.
