of the destruction of the Jews
to the attention of the powers
in Hollywood. Although it
would be a mistake to at-
tribute the making of The
Life of Emile Zola only to this
fact, and not the desire to
make money for the studio,
there can be little doubt that
an account of the Dreyfus
episode had a teaching pur-
pose: to create awareness not
only of the dangers of anti-
Semitism, but also of the
mind that fosters it.
Though the locale of the
Dreyfus miscarriage of justice
was France and the time the
end of the 19th Century, the
link of the Dreyfus Case to
what was happening in Ger-
many was not lost on
thoughtful viewers. On
others, it still had the effect of
instilling disgust with
railroading an innocent man
into the hell that was Devils
Island, to which Captain
Dreyfus was consigned after
his conviction by a French
military court. The sym-
pathies of the audience were
with Dreyfus, the befuddled
soldier and French patriot
who did not know what was
happening and who could on-
ly repeat protesting his in-
nocence of the charge of es-
pionage and his utter loyalty
to France.
In fact, the movie audiences
experienced some annoyance
with Dreyfus. Since he was
being maltreated by the
France he loved and the army
of which he was so proud, why
did his one thought rest on
the prostestations of love and
loyalty to the very forces that
were doing him in? The real
life, historical Dreyfus was
not all that different. It was
said of this patriotic Jewish
soldier that, had he had not
been Dreyfus, he would have
belonged to his persecutors.
In spite of the fact that
Dreyfus was not in real life,
nor on the screen, a wholly
sympathetic figure, the in-
justice done to him — largely
because of his Jewish origin
— emerged clearly from the
film. Dreyfus had not been
much of a Jew, no more than
the bulk of the French Jewish
middle class. When the case
erupted, that middle-class
wanted above all to be left
alone, to be allowed to forget
that one of their own had ,
betrayed la patrie and hope
that the ancient notion of
"collective responsibility"
was dead once and for all.
The great fear was still the
same: that if one Jew was
perceived as guilty, the entire
Jewish population was judg-
ed guilty as well. The great
fear of the fearful Jewish mid-
