The Institute’s war-era staffing scarcity shaped its role in the anti-Semitism project

Evidence

Horkheimer and Adorno would have liked to bring Bettelheim to New York in order to collaborate with him more closely, not simply because good sociologists and psychologists prepared to work with them were rare during the initial period of the extended project, as a result of the war, but also because they had a genuinely high regard for him. … Lowenthal and Massing, among the additional associates from the Institute, were designated as assistants on the Treatise on Anti-Semitism', the main editor of which was to be Horkheimer, with assistance from MacIver and Allport as co-editors. The Treatise’ and the pamphlet on anti-Semitic propaganda were the two sub-projects allotted to the Institute. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 404
