ACP Presents, "We Are All in The Same Boat": Arendt on Zionist Solidarity and Eichmann's Principle A Talk by Dr. David Kim

Tuesday, November 28, 2023 - 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Acclaimed scholar Dr. David Kim (Vice Provost, International Institute and Professor, European Languages and Transcultural Studies, UCLA), examines how, for Hannah Arendt, the aftermath of the Holocaust brought renewed urgency to the murky concept of solidarity. She was dismayed to discover that more and more appeals to unity equated perpetrators and victims or hung onto Christian notions of original sin as new political futures were imagined.  The aim of this lecture is to examine Arendt's catchphrase "We are all in the same boat" and its implications for Holocaust Studies as well as contemporary global political movements.
