J’accuse (open letter)

"J’accuse" is an open letter written by French writer Émile Zola in 1898, addressing the wrongful conviction of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish French army officer. Zola accused the military and government of anti-Semitism, corruption, and falsifying evidence to cover up Dreyfus's innocence. The letter was published publicly to challenge the injustice and advocate for truth and fairness. It played a significant role in raising awareness and ultimately helping to overturn Dreyfus's conviction, highlighting issues of prejudice and the importance of speaking out against institutional corruption.
