SDS activists staged a breast-baring protest against Adorno months before his death

Evidence

I left Frankfurt for Switzerland only a few weeks before the unhappy incident in April in which several women belonging to the German SDS interrupted one of Adorno’s lectures by rushing on the stage and baring their breasts, a symbolic act of a patricide that would come to seem a prefiguration of his actual death from a heart attack in August 1969. — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 7
