Horkheimer dismissed Neumann’s working-class anti-Semitism survey as scientifically ridiculous

Evidence

But Horkheimer wanted, if possible, to drop the sub-project arranged by Neumann on anti-Semitism in the working class. He saw this as an unauthorized addition by Neumann to the draft of the project which had been published in SPSS. By the way,' he mentioned to Pollock, this idea of a survey on the whole labor movement, just to find some Anti-Semitic reactions, is, in my opinion, scientifically ridiculous.’ — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 379
