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.
