WAHRHEIT GIBT ES NUR ZU ZWEIEN | Lesung im Karl Jaspers Haus

In the organizer's words:

"WAHRHEIT GIBT ES NUR ZU ZWEIEN"
- Reading from Hannah Arendt's correspondence with her friends

"Writing letters is dangerous nonsense after all," Hannah Arendt tells her teacher and friend Karl Jaspers in a letter dated June 30, 1947, and one might think that this is why she rarely took up the pen. However, this is by no means the case, as Arendt was probably one of the most avid letter writers of her time and found support not only in "dark times" through numerous correspondences with companions, writers, friends and girlfriends. The reading shows that Arendt analyzed the big picture in her letters, but also took the small events seriously, and thus offers a mosaic of polyphony.

Text basis: Hannah Arendt, "Wahrheit gibt es nur zu Zweien. Letters to Friends", edited by Ingeborg Nordmann, Piper Verlag 2013

It reads: Franziska Vondrlik
