The AJC funded a Scientific Department under Horkheimer’s directorship in 1944

Evidence

When the AJC finally decided to finance the continuation of the project to a further stage, and to set up a Scientific Department with Horkheimer as its director, Horkheimer went to New York at the end of October 1944 and remained there for several months. He established himself in the AJC’s headquarters, with a view of the Empire State Building, and built up the Scientific Department there. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 390
