Antisemitism. Its History and Causes

More about the book

Bernard Lazare, a Jewish French literary critic and anarchist, played a pivotal role in the Dreyfus Affair, advocating for justice in the face of anti-Semitism. His 1894 work, "Anti-semitism, its History and Causes," critically examines the roots of anti-Semitic sentiment. Lazare's activism intensified after Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish army officer, was wrongfully accused of treason. His publication, "The Dreyfus Affair – A Miscarriage of Justice," marked a significant contribution to the discourse on injustice and the fight for Jewish emancipation.
