||
The two men brought forth grave accusation, Henry said: an impeachable
|
||
gentleman of war, warned me there was a traitor on staff and pointed to
|
||
Alfred Dreyfus while shouting "he's right over there."(3) When asked to
|
||
reveal his source by Dreyfus's lawyer, the court came to Henry's defense
|
||
stating they understood why military men have to kept in secret. Then
|
||
General Mercier introduced a man of strange background, his name was
|
||
Mercier de Paty de Clam. Clam drew a fake file on Dreyfus to show him that
|
||
he was indeed guilty of treason.
|
||
|
||
The evidence now, true or false, was enough to send Alfred Dreyfus to
|
||
prison for life, he was condemned and degraded in public. The scene of his
|
||
conviction was said "it could make a man sick on sight."(4) His trousers
|
||
had their stripes ripped off by the mob, his sword was broken in two while
|
||
the mob spat and shouted: "Death to the Jew!" Alfred Dreyfus was shipped to
|
||
Devil's Island to suffer the deadly and harsh conditions, to be tortured on
|
||
an island from which he couldn't escape from anyway.
|
||
|
||
There were still a few minds who believed in Dreyfus's innocence, such
|
||
as, his wife and brother; Golgar Demange, a highly respected devout
|
||
catholic; and even Captain George Picquart.(5) George Picquart was one of
|
||
the main figures in the unravelling of the Dreyfus affair, he was the
|
||
officer asked by his supervisor to look into Dreyfus's motives. Picquart
|
||
found many flaws and peculiar things,in his research and in March 1896
|
||
another letter which they called the "petit bleu," was intercepted by
|
||
French intelligence. This puzzled Picquart, an investigation was now to be
|
||
ordered on Esterhazv, who's name was found on it. Esterhazv, a captain of
|
||
regiment, had been constantly applying for General Staff Intelligence and
|
||
he was being backed by a familiar figure, Major Hubert Henry.
|
||
|
||
At this time France's state was being questioned, morality and
|
||
injustice where the two large issues. The people backed Henry even if he
|
||
was lying, because to them it was patriotic and for the honour of France.
|
||
No concern was taken for the injustice which was hurled upon an innocent
|
||
man, instead their was talk about a large scale deportation of all Jews.
|
||
However, there were non-Jews who were now questioning the Dreyfus affair of
|
||
these included men of power such as government officials. Pressure was
|
||
being put on the army to review the case, by George Picquart as well.
|
||
|
||
Picquart had noticed something very peculiar about the "Petit bleu" and
|
||
when he realized it was the hand writing he immediately called handwriting
|
||
experts to confirm this, who did agree with him. He then approached
|
||
General Gonse and to a great dismay found that he was being shut out and
|
||
told to keep silent about it. But Picquart was of a different type of man,
|
||
he wanted justice to be done, so he went to the papers to be heard. Now
|
||
this brought on Mathieu Dreyfus, Alfred's brother, who accused Esterhazy as
|
||
the author of the Bordereau. Esterhazy demanded he be court-martialled and
|
||
he was along with Picquart, both sent to prison.
|
||
|
||
Another person took on the challenge now, on the day of January 13th a
|
||
Republic Novelist by the name of Emile Zola wrote the article "J'accuse,",
|
||
"I accuse" revealed Paty du Clam as a forger. He was charged for writing
|
||
this, fined 3,000 francs, and put in prison. Emile Zola was a strong
|
||
believer in the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus but on the other end of the
|
||
scale was the new War Minister by the name of Godefroy Carvaignac believed
|
||
that Dreyfus was guilty to the fullest degree. On July 17, 1898, he gave a
|
||
speech in the Chamber stating that Dreyfus Affair was finally finished. He
|
||
also brought out a document declaring them as proof of Dreyfus's guilt.
|
||
The forged document contained Dreyfus's name written by the attache.
|
||
|
||
The next changing step in the affair was the appointment of a young
|
||
officer to look into the forgery accusations, Captain Louis Cuignet had to
|
||
re-examine the file on Dreyfus in order to be sure that nothing had been
|
||
forged, but to the surprise of the one who appointed him, Cavaignei
|
||
Cuignet, found some interesting results. After all was said and done,
|
||
Alfred Dreyfus was acquitted of his charges with a full pardon, he also
|
||
regained his position in the army as well as Picquart, and Henry commited
|
||
suicide.
|
||
|
||
Throughout history there has been many cases of similar feeling that
|
||
have caused injustice as a result of the instances. We have seen it in
|
||
Modern history and ancient history with blacks facing cruel and unfair
|
||
treatment in South Africa and the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela; the
|
||
persecution of and extermination of Jews in the second World War by Adolf
|
||
Hitler. These can be paralleled to the Dreyfus case in question. However,
|
||
one case of Modern time that can be considered the closest on a social
|
||
level, in my opinion, showing the feeling of a State towards a person, was
|
||
the Donald Marshall case. Donald Marshall was an Indian native in Nova
|
||
Scotia who was accused of murdering an old man, like Dreyfus he was
|
||
presumed guilty from the beginning due to the anti-Indian mentality. The
|
||
Dreyfus Affair has tarnished the face of France's history, and has been
|
||
carried through the ages. I believe that it should be a lesson to mankind
|
||
on the subject of racism in the world. Thesis
|
||
|
||
Man has been known to develop emotions and feeling toward people of
|
||
another breed, culture or race. They have proved this through history over
|
||
and over, and as they say history repeats itself, it still exists in
|
||
societies today. There will always be some injustice in the world that
|
||
might never be overcome. The subject to be examined in this essay will
|
||
show the injustice and a result of anti-semantic feelings on France, and it
|
||
will prove that the Dreyfus Affair was a result of anti-semitism.
