"For 40 years, the #statue of Capt #AlfredDreyfus has been moved around #Paris, never finding a permanent home.
The #French army twice refused to allow it to stand at #lÉcoleMilitaire, where #Dreyfus, a #Jewish officer it had wrongly accused of #treason in 1894, was stripped of his rank in one of the most notorious acts of #antisemitism in #France’s history.
A spot opposite the city’s #PalaisdeJustice was considered and rejected. For want of a better place, the bronze statue created in 1985 was placed in the #Tuileries garden, then tucked away across the #RiverSeine near the former site of the #ChercheMidi jail, where Dreyfus was imprisoned after his arrest.
Now, 120 years after the officer’s name was cleared, and a year after he was posthumously promoted to the rank of brigadier general, his statue has been given what many believe is its rightful place in central Paris."
