The Institute’s anti-Semitism project grew beyond its capacity and dominated Horkheimer and Adorno

Evidence

The anti-Semitism project had at one time been seen as the saving of the Institute. This was before it turned into its central business, far beyond the ability of the rump of the Institute to cope with, and pushed everything else into the background, even for Horkheimer and Adorno. It now developed into an assortment of failures and successes which the two of them looked on with constantly changing feelings. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1696
