Horkheimer toasted the Nuremberg executions in memory of shared anti-Nazi glee with Fromm

Evidence

As for Horkheimer, he sent a brief letter in October 1946, when the death sentences following the Nuremberg trials were carried out. In memory of the fact that he and Fromm, hearing the news in New York of the events of 30 June 1934, had celebrated the downfall on that day of figures who had been symbolic in the Nazi Reich, he had mentally sent Fromm, on the previous Tuesday night, a toast to the death of Streicher and his comrades. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1124
