Autorenporträt
Otto H. Kahn, born Otto Hermann Kahn on February 21, 1867, in Mannheim, Germany, was a notable figure in banking, philanthropy, and the arts, but also made his mark as an author with his publication 'Right Above Race' (1918). Kahn's book, a testament to his progressive views on society and politics, advocates for the transcendence of racial divisions and emphasizes the primacy of human character and values above racial identity. A partner at Kuhn, Loeb & Co., a prominent investment firm, Kahn was a patron of the arts and utilized his financial acumen to support and shape cultural institutions. His written work reflects a commitment to the betterment of society through the promotion of unity and a shared humanity, a conviction that stemmed from his own experience as a German-Jewish immigrant to the United States and his subsequent influential role in American society. Kahn's contributions to the literary, financial, and artistic realms demonstrate a multifaceted engagement with the issues of his time, marking him as an important thinker and cultural architect of the early twentieth century.
