>at that time part of the Russian Empire,
Sounds all-too familiar. Before the Commies cry “antisemite!”, “Antisemitism” is right there with “racist”and all of the other divisive Communist tactics. Let’s look at some History, shall we?
Gentleman's Agreement is a 1947 American drama film …It concerns a journalist (Gregory Peck) who poses as a Jew to research an exposé on the widespread distrust and dislike of Jews in New York City… won three Oscars…
The movie was controversial in its day, as was a similar film on the same subject, Crossfire, which was released the same year (though that film was originally a story about anti-homosexuality, later changed to antiSemitism).

Coming to America - the National Socialists came to power in Germany in 1933. It was a bad time and place to be a Jewish Marxist, as most of the school’s faculty was. So, the school moved to New York City, the bastion of Western culture at the time.
Max Horkheimer was a dedicated Marxist who helped to create what is known as Critical Theory through radical Marxism. In 1930 he joined with a Marxist study group, started by Felix Weil, which evolved into the Institute for Social Research and is now known as the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. Critical Theory maintains that ideology (Christianity) is the principal “obstacle” to human liberation…
In 1934, the Frankfurt School was reborn at Columbia University. Its members began to exert their ideas on American culture. It was at Columbia University that the school honed the tool it would use to destroy Western culture: the printed word.
The school published a lot of popular material. The first of these was Critical Theory.
Marcuse would be the one to answer Horkheimer’s question from the 1930s: Who would replace the working class as the new vanguards of the Marxist revolution? Marcuse believed that it would be a victim coalition of minorities—blacks, women, and homosexuals.
The social movements of the 1960s—black power, feminism, gay rights, sexual liberation—gave Marcuse a unique vehicle to release cultural Marxist ideas into the mainstream. Railing against all things “establishment,” The Frankfurt School’s ideals caught on like wildfire across American universities. https://archive.md/wip/54cCP *
