(The correspondence between Hannah Arendt and Karl Jaspers...)
The correspondence between Hannah Arendt and Karl Jaspers begins in 1926 when the twenty-year-old Arendt studied philosophy with Jaspers in Heidelberg. It is interrupted by Arendt's emigration and Jaspers "inner emigration," and it is resumed immediately after World War II. The initial teacher-student relationship develops into a close friendship, in which Jasper's wife, Gertrud, is soon included and then Arendt's husband, Heinrich Blucher. These letters show not only the way both philosophers lived, thought, and worked but also how they experienced the postwar years.

(Here is the life story of two exceptional people, two Ger...)
Here is the life story of two exceptional people, two Germans who fled their country for different reasons. It is the story of their life in exile in Paris and in New York, their dependence on each other and deepening love, their continued exchange of ideas, Arendt's teaching and writing, her involvement with Jewish life in Europe and in Israel, and Blucher's years at The New School and at Bard College. It is also an important document of the '30s in Germany and France, of World War II, and the post-war life in ravaged European cities. Meanwhile, there is love of food and drink, and of friendship-both intellectual and affectionate-with Karl Jaspers, Mary McCarthy, Alfred Kazin, and the complex relationship with Martin Heidegger and his wife. Within Four Walls is an extraordinary personal and historical record.

Lotte Kohler was born on December 15, 1919, in Rostock, Germany. She had two sisters, Johanna Burgdahl and Rosemarie Grimm.
In 1948 Lotte Kohler received a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Münster.
From 1950 to 1951 Lotte Kohler was an associate lecturer at Royal Holloway, University of London. From 1956 to 1960 she worked as a French and German teacher at Fort Lee High School. From 1960 to 1971 Kohler served as an associate professor at the City College of New York and was appointed an associate professor of German in 1971. Later, she became a professor emerita of this college.
Besides, she is a co-editor of Hannah Arendt, Karl Jaspers: Correspondence, 1926-1969, a collection of letters between Arendt and Jaspers. The letters date from 1926 when Arendt first became a student of Jaspers, up until his death in 1969. Even though they were both Germans, philosophers, and educated individuals, the two had differences. Arendt was Jewish and had moved to the United States, while Jaspers, a gentile, continued to live in Germany. Their letters discuss their opinions on events of the time and their different worlds.
Within Four Walls: The Correspondence between Hannah Arendt and Heinrich Blucher, 1937-1968 is the second collection of letters edited by Kohler. Arendt and Blucher, who had both escaped from Nazi ruled Germany, first met in Paris in 1936 and married in 1940. The letters describe their love for each other and what was going on in their lives when they were apart.
Her special areas of interest were the development of self and memory in early childhood, as well as theories on mother-child attachment. In 1987, she established the Köhler Foundation for the Promotion of Human Sciences in the Stifterverband.
