Bibliography. Index. Erasure residue and soiling on fep. Jacques Kayser (n. Paris , 13 February 1900 -m. Suresnes , 15 January 1963 ) was a French journalist and politician. Jacques Kayser, Alfred Dreyfus' nephew by marriage, studied law and literature and later became a journalist and writer. In the 1930s he was editor-in-chief of La République , the official organ of the Radical Party of which he was a member, and claimed to be among the "young Turks," a trend of the same radical party. Vice President and then Secretary General of the Radical Party, he was close to the left represented by Pierre Cot and Pierre Mendès France . Together with Jean Guéhenno and André Chamson , he wrote the oath of July 14, 1935, which marked the first stage of the constitution of the Popular Front; then he signed, on behalf of the Radical Party, the program presented for the legislative elections of 1936. He was, at the same time, a member of the Central Committee of the League for Human Rights. At age 39 he volunteered to join the resistance during World War II . Having left for London in 1943, he became an advisor to the French Embassy in London. He participated in the Normandy Landing as a war correspondent. After the war, he had no political responsibilities, dedicating himself to his work as a journalist. Jacques Kayser became part of the French delegation to the United Nations and UNESCO. The Dreyfus affair was a political scandal that divided the Third French Republic from 1894 until its resolution in 1906. "L'Affaire", as it is known in French, has come to symbolize modern injustice in the Francophone world, and it remains one of the most notable examples of a complex miscarriage of justice and antisemitism. The role played by the press and public opinion proved influential in the conflict. The scandal began in December 1894 when Captain Alfred Dreyfus was convicted of treason. Dreyfus was a 35-year-old Alsatian French artillery officer of Jewish descent. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for allegedly communicating French military secrets to the German Embassy in Paris, and was imprisoned in Devil's Island in French Guiana, where he spent nearly five years. In 1896, evidence came to lightâ"primarily through an investigation instigated by Georges Picquart, head of counter-espionage â" which identified the real culprit as a French Army major named Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy. When high-ranking military officials suppressed the new evidence, a military court unanimously acquitted Esterhazy after a trial lasting only two days. The Army laid additional charges against Dreyfus, based on forged documents. Subsequently, Émile Zola's open letter J'Accuse.! stoked a growing movement of support for Dreyfus, putting pressure on the government to reopen the case. In 1899, Dreyfus was returned to France for another trial. The intense political and judicial scandal that ensued divided French society between those who supported Dreyfus (now called "Dreyfusards"), such as Sarah Bernhardt, Anatole France, Henri Poincaré and Georges Clemenceau, and those who condemned him (the anti-Dreyfusards), such as Édouard Drumont, the director and publisher of the antisemitic newspaper La Libre Parole. The new trial resulted in another conviction and a 10-year sentence, but Dreyfus was pardoned and released. In 1906, Dreyfus was exonerated and reinstated as a major in the French Army. He served during the whole of World War I, ending his service with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He died in 1935. The affair from 1894 to 1906 divided France into pro-republican, anticlerical Dreyfusards and pro-Army, mostly Catholic "anti-Dreyfusards". It embittered French politics and encouraged radicalization. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
