Dress Rehearsal for Dreyfus: the Duchesse de Berry, Simon Deutz, and France’s First Antisemitic Affaire

SUN JAN 23 | LIVE VIA ZOOM
2PM — 3PM CT

In 1832, the duchesse de Berry led a civil war to recapture the French throne for her 11-year-old son. She was betrayed to the government by her trusted confidant, Simon Deutz, the son of France’s chief rabbi, setting off the first outpouring of antisemitism in modern France. Maurice Samuels shows how this colorful but now forgotten historical event set the stage for the century of antisemitism to come.
