French MPs backed a bill this week that would promote Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish French army captain wrongly convicted of treason in 1894, to the rank of Brigadier General. Dreyfus was sentenced to life in a notorious penal colony for allegedly passing on military information to the Germans. The charges were a reflection of virulent anti-Semitism in the French military. One of the great-grandsons of Captain Dreyfus, Michel Dreyfus, has been speaking to Julian Worricker about the impact the case has had on his family.
