Horkheimer’s first fascism essay was the Institute’s only general political statement

Evidence

The impact of Horkheimer’s `The Jews and Europe’ must be seen against this background. It was his first essay on the topic of fascism, and the first on fascism by anyone in the Horkheimer circle since the articles by Pollock and Marcuse in 1933 and 1934. In addition, it represented a general political statement which was unique in the Institute’s Horkheimer period. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 279
