| Description | The article, based on archival materials, describes Hannah Arendt’ s relationship with the journal Merkur. Deutsche Zeitschrift für europäisches Denken (Mercury. The German journal for European thought), where excerpts from her key postwar works were published. Arendt initially distrusted the journal, as she correctly sensed a tendency to avoid addressing the topic of the Holocaust. However, this changed during the 1950s, and by the early 1960s, for the first time in Germany, parts of her book on the Eichmann trial were published in Merkur. On a theoretical level, the article attempts to explore two important concepts of Arendt: the mass and the mob. |
