The Free Jewish School collapsed and was revived only as Nazi protest in 1933.

Evidence

Rosenzweig’s hopes were not realized. The lecture courses were intended to finance the smaller, more intensive working groups, and to provide an introductory stage for those seriously interested in Jewish life, but during the second half of the 1920s the attractiveness of the lectures began to decline. The project, although it had been imitated in the meantime in a number of other cities, collapsed and was only revived again in 1933 as a protest against the Nazi rise to power. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 209
