As a young adult in Germany, she wrote about German Jewish history. After moving to France in 1933, she helped Jewish youth immigrate to Palestine. During her years in Paris, her principle concern was the transformation of antinomianism from prejudice to policy, which would culminate in the Nazi \"final solution.\" After France fell, Arendt escaped from an internment camp and made her way to America. There she wrote articles calling for a Jewish army to fight the Nazis. After the war, she supported the creation of a Jewish homeland in a binational (Arab-Jewish) state of Israel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArendt's original conception of political freedom cannot be fully grasped apart from her experience as a Jew. In 1961 she attended Adolf Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem. Her report, \u003ci\u003eEichmann in Jerusalem, \u003c\/i\u003eprovoked an immense controversy, which culminated in her virtual excommunication from the worldwide Jewish community. Today that controversy is the subject of serious re-evaluation, especially among younger people in the United States, Europe, and Israel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Jewish Writings\u003c\/i\u003e-much of which has never appeared before-traces Arendt's life and thought as a Jew.
