Travail, a Paris school at which
Jewish orphans received free tech-
nical training.
He was also a member of the
executive committee of the World
ORT, the French ORT and a di-
rector of OSE (world union for
the protection of the health of
Jews). As late as last August he
had attended a meeting of the
ORT congress in Paris.
Pierre Dreyfus, a noted indus-
tialist,--he was a manufacturer of
wires and cables—counted some
of the most outstanding men of
France among his friends. One
of them was that great old man,
Clemenceau.
After the first World War Pierre
happened to buy a first edition of
Clemenceau's book on the Greek
orator, Demosthenes. He sent it
to the aged statesman and schol-
ar, who lived in the same neigh-
borhood, with a letter addressing
him as the great defender of
Capt. Dreyfus and savior of
France, and asking him to auto-
graph the book.
Pierre was not sure whether the
"Tiger" would grant his request,
for he usually declined to inscribe
books. Hence, his joy was great
when the volume was returned tc
him inscribed "To Pierre Dreyfus,
in remembrance of the great
• fights."
a
FRIEND OF DREYFUSARD
ANOTHER GREAT champion
of liberty and noted Dreyfusard
he knew personally was Paul Pain-
leve, eminent mathematician, twice
premier of France. During the
Affaire he acted as spokesman for
the cause before the Universites
Populaires. Three decades had
passed since the Affaire, and Pain-
leve was over 70 when Pierre last
met him. Yet he still asserted to
the much younger man:
"If a man is a Dreyfusard, I
am his friend. Otherwise I will
have nothing at all to do with that
person."
These and many other stories I
heard from Pierre Dreyfus, stor-
ies which are not included in his
own book of the Affaire.
The civilized world has every
reason to deplore the sudden pass-
ing of that man who was a patri-
otic Frenchman, a loyal Jew, and
a representative of the type which
has become rather rare in our
days—the perfect gentleman.
