The Institute’s wartime exiles never rejoined it, though all three would have welcomed returning.

Evidence

With the end of the war, and in view of the favourable way in which collaboration between the Institute and the American Jewish Committee had developed, the end of an interim period seemed to have arrived, and the question of renewing the old community of theorists seemed to take on new relevance. But it was not mentioned openly by any of those concerned. … The Washington `delegates’ sent Horkheimer a telegram on his fiftieth birthday saying they regretted not being able to come to New York. All three would certainly have been delighted to become members of staff at the Institute again, as before. For Neumann and Marcuse, parting from it had been painful enough. The parting had been less noticeable in Kirchheimer’s case because he had never achieved the same status on the staff as Marcuse and Neumann, and it had been possible to ask him to accept part-time employment. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 406
