Dreyfus Rehabilitation

Dreyfus Rehabilitation refers to the efforts to clear the name of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish French army officer wrongfully convicted of treason in the late 19th century. This case, marked by antisemitism and public controversy, highlighted the failures of the legal system and sparked a significant political crisis in France. Over time, evidence emerged proving his innocence, leading to his exoneration in 1906. The Dreyfus Affair became a pivotal moment in advocating for justice and civil rights, influencing the fight against antisemitism and shaping modern notions of individual rights and accountability within institutions.
