The Institute for Social Research was reincorporated in Geneva in February 1933.

Evidence

In February 1933 the Society for Social Research had already been replaced by the Société Internationale de Recherches Sociales, which had its headquarters in Geneva. The Geneva branch thus became the official administrative headquarters. For academic purposes, however, it could only serve as a provisional head officenot only because of the threatening proximity of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, but also because of the Swiss attitude to emigrants. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 533 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

A footnote to a report by Andries Sternheim on Recent Literature on Unemployment and the Family' in the third issue of the ZfS in 1933 read: The problem of the extent to which long-term unemployment produces fundamental changes (in particular, mental and psychological ones) in the relations between the individual members of a family is currently being investigated by the Institute of Social Research through the organization of an inquiry in various countries into this complex of questions.’ Sternheim was a Dutch socialist, described by Horkheimer as an upright, hard-working man', who had been recommended to Horkheimer by an official of the International Labour Office in Geneva. In 1934, when Pollock moved to the USA, Sternheim became director of the Institute's Geneva branch. — <cite>Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 550</cite> (#expands`, via linked claim)
