Alfred Dreyfus (1859-1935) was a French army officer falsely accused of spying in the late 1800s. The charges, conviction and initial refusal by the government to admit its error had overtones of anti-Semitism, as Dreyfus was Jewish.[1] In 1895, he was sentenced to spend life imprisoned on Devil's Island off the coast of French Guiana, but he was pardoned four years later. The incident has become known in history as The Dreyfus Affair.
