Synopsis
Jewish-German philosopher Hannah Arendt fled from Nazi Germany to the
United States, where she, among other things, worked as a university
tutor. Then „The New Yorker” sent her to cover the trial of Adolf
Eichmann in Israel and she wrote her book „A Report on the Banality of
Evil”, that started a controversy.
