Found at what seems to be a wonderful exhibition of France's notorious Dreyfus Case being held at Melbourne's Jewish Museum of Australia to commemorate the centenary of Alfred Dreyfus's pardon eleven years after he was first falsely accused. Click for some great pictures, lectures, clippings ... but be warned, the links are unlabelled (ugh!) PDF and large zip files of unoptimized pix. But very much worth the download time.

Australians attended packed meetings in support of Alfred Dreyfus, particularly in 1899 (see September 14).
