Marxists and their heirs are almost entirely uninterested in the Holocaust. The significance of Frankfurt School Critical Theory is blown out of all proportion in Macdonald and anti-woke polemics, but one thing is certain: the reflections in Adorno's work on the Holocaust did not really feed into anything else, other than providing the one soundbite, which is relevant only to debates in literature and cultural studies about representation, not to history. Only a handful of Marxists have ever reflected in a sustained way on the Holocaust, most being entirely heterodox within those traditions, and largely marginalised compared to the anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist default norm on the far left. The groupuscules from the 1960s onwards whose veterans and the people they influenced were split on just about everything, one can find a few who refused the anti-Zionist turn, but this did not necessarily translate into a greater interest in the Holocaust as well. Much of the polarisation revolved around Jewish roots with a split between anti-Zionist Jews remaining on the far left (but usually turning into Johnny One Note obsessives) and socialist-sympathising Jews distancing themselves from the far left. And this split was all over the news in 2023-2024 with campus protests and the rhetoric of settler colonialism and decolonisation. Despite the fact that Frantz Fanon and Aime Cesaire as much as Jean-Paul Sartre and W.E.B. Du Bois routinely offered significant reflections on the close kinship of antisemitism and anti-African racism in the mid-20th Century.

I find your commentary rather astonishing.
- The 'Frankfurt School Critical Theory' is the most significant philosophical school of thought of the 20th century.
No, it really isn't.
- Theodor Adorno's "Was bedeutet Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit?" is the blue-print for destroying any meaningful cultural conservatism first in Germany and then in any other Western Country.
Utter twaddle.
- The Nazi-whip works due to Holocaust Narrative being the foundation of present Western thought. Marxists and their front-people frequently used the NAZI tag to 'discredit' or bash any meaningful opposition to them.
No, everyone across the political spectrum except neo-Nazis will fling around 'Nazi' as an insult when it suits them. ...
Now that proves how successful the program was.
And it's quite telling that all you can say is "No" - You try the assertiveness of argument approach. The lack of real content is still revealing.
But perhaps you can come by by answering the question first: Who was the "most significant philosophical school of thought of the 20th century", if not the Frankfurt School?
