[2] Denise Kahn was born on June 26, 1896, to a French-speaking family in Sarreguemines, then part of the German imperial province of Alsace-Lorraine.
Andre Breton, Louis Aragon, Rene Char and Paul Eluard all wrote poems to her.
[2] In the late 1920s the pair moved away from surrealism to concentrate on supporting Trotsky against the Stalization of the Communist International.
[2] Kahn also made translations of Arnold Schönberg's Treaty of Harmony, as well as work by Karl Marx, Frege and Ludwig Wittgenstein, which were never published.
[1] Louis Aragon's letters to Denise Lévy have been published,[4] as have those of her cousin Simone Breton.
