Abstract:
Papers, 1920-2009, of Arthur David Kahn, communist author and politician, journalist, classics scholar and professor, and gay rights activist. As a World War II officer for the Office of Strategic Services and a chief editor and reporter for United States occupation journals, Kahn observed political developments of post-Nazi Germany and upon return to the United States he expounded a pro-communist and anti-imperial political philosophy with speaking tours, articles, pamphlets, and books, resulting in his eventual blacklisting. The papers largely consist of journal manuscripts encompassing his lifetime of occupations and interests, most notably his classics scholarship, and correspondence, particularly with potential publishers. Notable correspondents include blacklisted publishers and friends Albert Kahn (no relation), Angus Cameron, and Hungarian Marxist philosopher Georg Lukacs. Clippings or photocopies of articles by or about him, extensive travel diaries, particularly the eastern Mediterranean, and personal correspondence make up much of the rest. The Freedom of Information Act files highlight government monitoring of his activities from 1947 into 1967.

Biography/History

Arthur David Kohn was born in Connecticut to a middle-class Jewish family September 21, 1920 on Yom Kippur. At 17 he changed his last name to “Kahn.” He attended the New Jersey Teachers College at Trenton and graduated in 1940 with a specialty for political science in general secondary education; held membership in several clubs, namely the psychology club, and was editor for the school's yearbook. Upon graduation he taught high school English and comparative literature until he was recruited as a civilian for the Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency, which utilized his talent for analytical thought, political science, and psychology.

Arthur Kahn arrived in France weeks after D-Day as a prisoner of war interrogator and served in Brussels as a “peripatetic” intelligence investigator under British Marshal Montgomery. He later served in the American occupation zone under General Patton. There he monitored and analyzed the political climate and de-Nazification of Germany and edited the leading state department publication in Germany. His communist leanings were crystallized by his experiences with long-oppressed German communists further suppressed under post-war pressure between the West and the Soviet Union which created a re-armed and ostensibly anti-communist western Germany.

His political activities were monitored by the U.S. State Department and other intelligence-gathering institutions beginning in 1947 when he increased activity within the U.S. Communist Party, published articles, books, and toured the country decrying the rearmament of western Germany and emerging cold war. He was eventually blacklisted. Much of his writings were published abroad or through noted communist publishers Angus Cameron and Albert Kahn. He served as the Director of Nationalities with the communist leaning Progressive Party of 1948, the research director for both WEB DuBois’ Peace Information Center and the American Peace Crusade, served in the Puerto Rican commission for the New York State Communist Party, and ran for Congress under New York's American Labor Party in 1952. In 1959 he embarked on a nine month trip through the Eastern Bloc as the guest of the people's democracies and was the first westerner to visit Albania since World War II. He accomplished this despite official passport restrictions for communists.

In the 1960s he resumed his academic ventures and received a doctorate in philosophy from New York University. He taught English and comparative literature at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Kahn helped found and later chair the Classics department at the new Brock University in Ontario and then visited Colgate University for one year before slipping into retirement.

In 1981 Kahn founded and chaired the Sulmona Institute on Italian Civilization, a lecture course and archaeological practicum in central Italy. He continued to travel and publish books and articles on communism and classics but focused on increasing gay activism, HIV/AIDS, and thoughtful accounts of his recent travels in Israel and his 1990 trip to the Soviet Union.

Scope and Content Note

The collection, dating from 1920 to 2009, is arranged into three series: PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, and PHOTOGRAPHS; and documents the life and careers of Communist Party of the United States member, classics professor, and author Arthur David Kahn. In the 1950s Kahn was active within leftist organizations but retained little documentation. The bulk of the materials are related to the freelance writing of books and especially journal articles. Kahn utilized these records to write several books about his experiences during World War II as well as a series of memoirs. The collection is predominately in English but includes some Russian, Greek, Italian, German, Romanian, Hungarian, Czech, and French.

The PERSONAL series consists of eight sub-series: Articles about Kahn, Correspondence, Schooling, Diaries, Aesthetic Realism Writing Exercises and Lists, Diary of Roger Serf Translation, Freedom of Information Act Intelligence Records, and Community Arts and Humanities. They span 1937 to 2008. The series is primarily correspondence and travel diaries. Correspondences from individual persons are arranged alphabetically, followed by general and subject correspondences which are arranged chronologically. The correspondence is largely from family and friends but includes letters to notable blacklisted publishers Angus Cameron and Albert Kahn with whom he collaborated for The Matusow Affair book which further discredited Joseph McCarthy, letters from German communists, coordinative materials for a 1990 trip to the Soviet Union and subsequent letters to bring Russian artists into the United States, his suit to reinstate passport privileges, and an extended exchange with the U.S. government requesting pensions be granted for civilian OSS personnel who worked in the war zone. The diaries span three decades, are arranged chronologically, and primarily document his extensive personal and scholarly visits to Greece, Italy, Cyprus, and Israel, among other eastern Mediterranean nations and France.

The Schooling sub-series includes a graduate thesis, doctoral term papers, the yearbook for his teachers college, and coordinative materials for that school's 50th anniversary reunion. The Articles about Kahn sub-series includes Romanian newspaper articles, clippings from his 1950 peace tour, and 1989 Soviet magazine articles regarding his coming visit. The remaining four sub-series lack component parts and therefore are not sub-divided. Of these the Freedom of Information Act files which outline U.S. government monitoring of his activities at home and abroad is the largest sub-series.

The Aesthetic Realism Writing Exercises, as indicated, are materials created during Kahn's flirtation with the Aesthetic Realism philosophy. The Diary of Roger Cerf Translation is a translation of the prison diary for a man Kahn claims was the first Belgian soldier executed by the Nazis as a prisoner of war. The original was given to Kahn by Cerf's family but it does not appear that Kahn attempted to publish it in its entirety. The Community Arts and Humanities are letters, notes, and flyers for his involvement in arts and humanities in the Brooklyn area during the 1990s.

The majority of the materials in the collection are in the PROFESSIONAL series which consists of four sub-series: His career in the Office of Strategic Services, his Teaching, his Writings, and Political Activism. The OSS sub-series is primarily reports written in Germany and his correspondence stateside as well as a political terminology quiz for enlisted men. The Teaching sub-series includes correspondence while at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Colgate University, but especially at Brock University where he chaired its classics department. Other Brock materials include lecture outlines as well as Latin and archaeological society correspondence. Also included are coordinative correspondence and instructional materials for the Sulmona Institute on Italian Civilization, a summer course he devised and initially self-financed in 1980.

The Writings sub-series include three further sub-series for his draft Manuscripts, Manuscript Correspondence with publishers and other persons, and Printed Articles. The Manuscripts are divided into six further sub-series: Short form General Fiction and Non-Fiction, Eastern Bloc Tour, Books, Classics, Unknown Israel, and Soviet Union and Reminiscences. The short form General Fiction and Non-Fiction include the bulk of his early writings. The Books sub-series contains drafts of Kahn's foreword to his translation of Georg Lukacs’ book Writer and Critic, a research file for Kahn's own book Experiment in Occupation, and 21 monographs authored or translated by Kahn. The remaining sub-series are short form accounts and scholarly articles regarding Eastern Europe, Classics, Israeli politics and society, and the Soviet Union just before its break-up. Books and General Fiction and Non-Fiction are arranged chronologically by earliest date and the rest are alphabetical by title. Kahn advocated the relevance of classics in contemporary political society and thus in addition to his overtly political writings many of these classics manuscripts contain political intent.

The Manuscript Correspondence sub-series is divided amongst correspondence for Books or Short Form writings. Therein they are arranged alphabetically. Each sub-series holds correspondence for writings concerning gay rights, communism or World War II, classics, and fiction. Notable is the collaboration with Marxist theorist Georg Lukacs. These dozen letters are in German and appear to concern Kahn's translation efforts. The Printed Articles sub-series includes clippings primarily from journals: They are General, Classical, and Political. From there they are arranged alphabetically. These include the finalized forms for many of his manuscripts and some that do not exist in drafts.

The Political Activism sub-series is sparse and unrepresentative considering the degree of involvement within various leftist organizations in the 1940s and 1950s. It includes proclamations issued by Kahn as head of the Progressive Party's nationalities division, literature related to his American Labor Party run for Congress in 1952, papers regarding the courts martial for several Puerto Ricans refusing to fight in Korea, and much later documents concerning AIDS presence in Israel and an early possible treatment.

The PHOTOGRAPHS series contains two sub-series, General and Autobiographies. The General sub-series follows the arrangement of the manuscript portion as described in the contents list. It primarily documents his writing and teaching careers. The Autobiographies sub-series are the photographic files used by Kahn to illustrate his memoirs and include family photographs and images from his professional life.
