In July 1906, France's Cour de Cassation (Supreme Court)
overturned the treason conviction of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a French
Jewish army officer who had spent five years on Devil's Island for
high treason and an additional seven years trying to clear his name. But the real impetus for the Zionist program came from a Viennese
journalist, Theodor Herzl, who was shocked by the anti-Semitism
demonstrated in the rigged trial and conviction for treason (in 1894
Enlightenment France, of all places) of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish
officer. |
