Arendt's turn to the politics has begun when she joined to the fight for Jewish emancipation. Her first political reflections deal with the Jewish Question. Arendt defends the political right to a Jew lives as a Jew without living traditions and way of life behind. This defense is made against the ideologies of anti-semitism and assimilationism. She criticizes the anti-political stance of Jews who have historically refused, with some exceptions, to engage into political action.
