jan 1, 1894 - Dreyfus Affair

Description:

In 1894, French Jewish army officer Alfred Dreyfus was falsely convicted of treason in a case fueled by antisemitism and political scandal. His eventual exoneration exposed the persistence of antisemitism even in an emancipated European society and had a major impact on Jewish political thought, including the development of modern Zionism.
