The Dreyfus Affair: A Lesson for Our Time was presented by Joseph Gal, PhD, MS on February 7, 2022.  In 1894, French Jewish army captain Alfred Dreyfus was falsely accused of providing military secrets to Germany.  He was convicted of high treason and sentenced to life in prison on Devil's Island off the South American coast. The conviction was overturned by the President of France and in 1906, a high court exonerated Dreyfus. The case is a grave warning about the consequences of racism and antisemitism, still present today.
