Summary
In a powerful move symbolizing France’s reckoning with its past, President Macron unveiled a statue of Captain Alfred Dreyfus — the Jewish officer falsely convicted of treason in the infamous 1890s scandal — just hours after a suspicious weapon was found near a synagogue in a Paris suburb, sparking a terrorism investigation. Macron used the ceremony to condemn a troubling resurgence of antisemitism, calling the old demons back and urging vigilance, while honoring Dreyfus’s eventual exoneration in 1906 — a victory made possible by figures like Émile Zola. Now, July 12 is being designated a national day to remember Dreyfus’s innocence, especially as antisemitic incidents surge amid regional tensions. Even Macron’s 99-year-old grandson joined the somber yet proud gathering, underscoring the enduring relevance of Dreyfus’s story as a beacon of justice against prejudice.
