Hannah Arendt and Heinrich Blücher
Heinrich Blücher (born 1899 in Berlin, d. 1970) was a German poet and philosopher. He was the husband of Hannah Arendt.
As a member of the German Communist Party, Blücher, then a university lecturer (Dozent), had to flee Germany. He married Arendt in France, and they emigrated to New York in 1941.
Heinrich Blücher stimulated his wife to become involved with Marxism and political theory, but obviously with unexpected results, as in her book The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) she attacked both nazi and communist systems.de:Heinrich Blücher no:Heinrich Blücher
