Former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has proposed a new law as a reparation for Alfred Dreyfus, highlighting the anti-Semitism that led to his wrongful conviction in the 19th century. Attal emphasized that this action not only seeks to acknowledge the past but also to convey a continuing commitment to combat anti-Semitism in modern society. The Dreyfus affair serves as a historical reminder of prejudice and injustice, resonating with today's ongoing struggles against hate and discrimination, reinforcing the need for vigilance in the face of intolerance.
The anti-Semitism that targeted Alfred Dreyfus is not in the distant past. Today's acts of hatred remind us that the fight is still ongoing.
It would also send the signal that the fight against anti-Semitism continues today, more than a century after the Dreyfus affair divided French society.
