Georges Picquart

Georges Picquart was a French military officer and intelligence expert who became known for uncovering errors in the case of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish French officer wrongly convicted of treason in 1894. Picquart discovered proof that the true culprit was someone else and that evidence had been fabricated or suppressed. His efforts to expose these facts faced resistance, but they eventually led to Dreyfus's exoneration. Picquart’s work is significant as it highlighted issues of corruption, prejudice, and injustice within the military and justice systems, making him a symbol of integrity and the fight for truth.
