Wie wir überwintern

Hannah Arendt
Conversation with Mirjam Zadoff
Moderation: Matthias Bormuth

We were not prepared for this: war in Europe, the break-up of the Western alliance, right-wing extremists winning elections. We should get involved, but we also need ideas on how to get through these years. It may be a long time before times get better. Mirjam Zadoff, director of the NS Documentation Center in Munich, makes a few suggestions: We remain human, show solidarity with the weaker, forge unusual alliances, open our doors and finally read Hannah Arendt's books. After all, the philosopher was interested in "people in dark times", about whom she wrote illuminating portraits. Mirjam Zadoff also searches her own and wider history for moments, situations and readings that can shed light so that we can better recognize the contours of the dark, but also orient ourselves across time.
