The 1894 court martial of French army Captain Alfred Dreyfus was the world’s first “trial of the century” – a media spectacle fueled by government misinformation and blatant anti-Semitism, all orchestrated in the name of national security. The case had a global impact, nearly destroying France’s reputation among civilized nations, sowing the seeds of future wars and even indirectly inspiring the birth of the modern Zionist movement.
Created by the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage with the collaboration of the Lorraine Beitler Collection of the Dreyfus Affair, this world-premiere exhibition recaptures the atmosphere of Paris of the 1890s through original materials, photographs, music and films of the era, revealing the full scope of the conspiracy against Dreyfus, the motivations of the principal characters and the lengths they would go to convict an innocent man.
