I view many things Hannah Arendt did very critically - just thought I’d
share this quote though:

Google translation:

»The problem, the personal problem, was not what our enemies did, but
what our friends did. What happened back then in the wave of conformity,
which was quite voluntary, at least not under the pressure of terror: it
was as if an empty space was forming around you. I lived in an
intellectual environment, but I also knew other people. And I could see
that conformity was, so to speak, the rule among intellectuals.”

Original:

»Das Problem, das persönliche Problem war doch nicht etwa, was unsere
Feinde taten, sondern was unsere Freunde taten. Was damals in der Welle
von Gleichschaltung, die ja ziemlich freiwillig war, jedenfalls noch
nicht unter dem Druck des Terrors, vorging: Das war, als ob sich ein
leerer Raum um einen bildete. Ich lebte in einem intellektuellen Milieu,
ich kannte aber auch andere Menschen. Und ich konnte feststellen, daß
unter den Intellektuellen die Gleichschaltung sozusagen die Regel war.«
