The Institute’s flagship anti-Semitism film experiment was planned but never executed.

Evidence

In the research programme published in the SPSS, a film experiment had been proposed as an example of what was, for the directors of the Institute, a new approach to the phenomenon of anti-Semitism through a series of experimental situations which approximate as closely as possible the concrete conditions of present day life', in order to visualize the mechanism of anti-Semite reactions realistically’. 232 The idea, a favourite with Horkheimer, remained programmatic for the time being. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 383
