Dreyfus
Dreyfus is a French-Jewish surname, most associated with Alfred Dreyfus (1859–1935), the French army officer falsely convicted of treason in 1894.
The Dreyfus Affair divided France for over a decade, becoming a landmark case of antisemitism and miscarriage of justice.
References to Dreyfus typically invoke wrongful accusation or persecution: a modern-day Dreyfus.
