The AJC would fund leftist researchers but not party Communists.
Evidence
Rosenblum responded to Neumann’s reservation that Lynd might be rejected by the Committee because of his political views by saying, `as long as a man was not a party Communist he was alright with him, the more so since in his view the problem of anti-Semitism could only be attacked by a man with left views who is willing to go to the roots of the problem.’ — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 378
Categorization
- XREF: Directly continues the established point that the AJC’s research director wanted left-wing researchers so long as they were not party Communists.
