"J'accuse" is a famous open letter written in 1898 by French writer Émile Zola, addressing the wrongful conviction of a French army officer, Alfred Dreyfus, who was accused of espionage. In the letter, Zola boldly accused the military and government officials of corruption, anti-Semitism, and covering up the truth. The phrase "J'accuse" translates to "I accuse," symbolizing a fearless call for justice and transparency. The letter played a key role in revealing the injustice and ultimately helping to exonerate Dreyfus, highlighting the importance of speaking out against wrongful actions by authorities.
