Without AJC funding there would have been no Elements of Anti-Semitism section

Evidence

From now on, work on the west coast on the dialectics project and work on the east coast on the anti-Semitism project were intertwined, in such a way that it was no longer possible to say whether the Philosophical Fragments were the theoretical springboard for the anti-Semitism project or the anti-Semitism project was a gigantic, more or less distinct excursus on the Philosophical Fragments. The two projects were the climax of the collaboration between Horkheimer and Adorno. But the anti-Semitism project was, from the beginning, only partly their work, and it slipped more and more out of their hands. It is doubtful whether the anti-Semitism project would have been carried out without outside finance, and even whether there would have been a section on `Elements of Anti-Semitism’ in the Dialectic of Enlightenment, if there had not been the stimulus of the agreement with the AJC. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1506
