    Covering Their Tracks

    During the Holocaust, France’s National Railway (SNCF) transported Jews toward concentration camps. The SNCF went to great pains to obscure that narrative, but one survivor who leapt from a train headed toward Auschwitz never forgot, and begins to seek justice.

    Introducing Dreyfus: A Very Modern Affair

    Dreyfus: A Very Modern Affair is an October 7th story, but one that begins not in 2023, but in October of 1894 with the arrest of French military officer Alfred Dreyfus, who also happened to be a Jew. The implications of his framing, arrest, incarceration and the fallout of his eventual exoneration reverberate today. Over this five-episode series, we examine how these events unfolded, and how they connect to the antisemitism that exists today.
