Horkheimer presented his fascism lessons at a 1940s UNESCO sociologists’ conference

Evidence

In Paris, Horkheimer took part in a two-week UNESCO conference of eight sociologists (including Gordon Allport, Georges Gurvitch and Harry Sullivan) on Tensions Affecting International Understanding'. His contribution, a paper on The Lessons of Fascism’, contained passages expressed with the laconic bitterness of his German writings of the 1920s and 1930s. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 424
