Historical events do not occur in a vacuum. Such is the case of the Dreyfus Affair, where the connection between Captain Alfred Dreyfus, Emile Zola, and Hannah Arendt is fused by the events of the early 20th century. The informative resource discusses how the allegations against Captain Dreyfus impacted the events of the Holocaust with informative presentations, small-group discussions, and an engaging class conversation.
