The Dreyfus Affair

The Dreyfus Affair was one of the most important events in Modern Jewish History, and its repercussions and reverberations are still with us today.  In this class we retell the story of Alfred Dreyfus: how a French army captain was falsely accused of espionage, how antisemitism defined his trial, and how the Jewish and global responses shaped the major world events of the Twentieth Century and beyond.  And how does God fit into the story?
