The Free Jewish School reached 600 students from a 30,000-strong community
Evidence
Between 1920 and 1926, there were ninety lecture courses and 180 working groups, seminars and discussion classes, with sixty-four teachers taking part. At its peak, in a town whose Jewish community consisted of some 30,000 people, over 600 registered students were taking part in the school’s activities. Rabbi Nobel, who died in January 1922, and Martin Buber, who was active in the school from 1922 onwards, each attracted some 200 students to their courses alone. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 208
