In the house of the hangman you should not speak of the rope; otherwise you will open yourself to the suspicion that you are a rancorous person. - Theodor Adorno (quoted in Jeffries, Stuart. Grand Hotel Abyss:The Lives of the Frankfurt School. Verso, 2017: 271.)

It is the original source of what is known as Critical Theory. The Institute was founded, thanks to a donation by Felix Weil in 1923, with the aim of developing Marxist studies in Germany. The Institute eventually generated a specific school of thought after 1933 when the Nazis forced it to close and move to the United States, where it found hospitality at Columbia University, New York."]
