Born in Prussia to assimilated Jewish parents, she escaped from Hitler's Germany in 1933. Arendt is now best remembered for the storm of controversy that surrounded her 1963 \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e series on the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a kidnapped Nazi war criminal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Arendt's first book, \u003ci\u003eThe Origins of Totalitarianism\u003c\/i\u003e, single-handedly altered the way generations around the world viewed fascism and genocide.
