Thank you, Leyla, for writing this. Growing up in France, I studied J’accuse in school, but I still learned new details here that I didn’t know. This story is such a powerful testament to the impact of doing the right thing—and having the courage to stand up for it, even when it’s difficult. It’s a reminder we need now more than ever: that conviction and integrity really can change lives.

Wow, Leyla — your article traces such a gripping chapter of French history. It’s fascinating, yet sobering too, when we think of a man broken by injustice and a nation split in two.

To my followers: if you're interested in the Dreyfus Affair and how it shaped modern France, this is a must-read. 😊
