Emile Zola, whom some of you may have read,
-
the leading French writer of this epoch,
-
wrote an important article
-
which appeared in the leading French daily newspaper:
-
J'Accuse--
-
"I accuse the French judiciary of being anti-Semitic."
-
Well Durkheim joined other prominent French intellectuals
-
to protest the trial.
-
It took them a long time but eventually they were successful.
-
Dreyfus was eventually exonerated of all charges and
-
made a Knight of the Legion of Honor.
-
So it was a happy ending of French anti-Semitism,
