Editing Alfred Dreyfus (section)

==Aftermath==
While attending a ceremony relocating Zola's ashes to the [[Panthéon, Paris|Panthéon]] on 4 June 1908, Dreyfus was wounded in the arm by a gunshot from a right-wing journalist, {{ill|Louis Grégori|fr}}, who was trying to assassinate him. Grégori was acquitted by the Parisian court, which accepted his defence that he had not meant to kill Dreyfus, meaning merely to graze him.<ref name="Valier 2005 p. 48">{{cite book|last=Valier|first=C.|title=Crime and Punishment in Contemporary Culture|publisher=Taylor & Francis|series=International Library of Sociology|year=2005|isbn=978-1-134-46105-9|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_P-BAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA48|page=48}}</ref>

In 1937, Dreyfus' son Pierre published his father's memoirs based on his correspondence between 1899 and 1906. The memoirs were titled ''Souvenirs et Correspondance'' and translated into English by [[Betty Morgan (politician)|Betty Morgan]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Dreyfus|first=Pierre|date=1937|title=Souvenirs Et Correspondance.

Dreyfus started corresponding with the marquise [[Marie-Louise Arconati-Visconti]] in 1899 and began attending her Thursday (political) salons after his release. They continued their correspondence until her death in 1923.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.lrb.co.uk/v39/n17/michael-wood/the-french-are-not-men|title=The French Are Not Men|last=Wood|first=Michael|journal=London Review of Books|date=17 September 2017|volume=39|issue=17|access-date=29 October 2017|archive-date=30 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171030003605/https://www.lrb.co.uk/v39/n17/michael-wood/the-french-are-not-men|url-status=live}} ([[London Review of Books]])</ref>

===Modern aftermath===
In October 2021, French president [[Emmanuel Macron]] opened a museum dedicated to the Dreyfus affair in [[Médan]] in the northwestern suburbs of Paris. He said that nothing could repair the humiliations and injustices Dreyfus had suffered, and "let us not aggravate it by forgetting, deepening, or repeating them".<ref name=observer2021>{{Cite news|title=Rise of far right puts Dreyfus affair into spotlight in French election race|last=Henley|first=Jon|work=The Observer|date=30 October 2021|url=https://www.theguardian.com/global/2021/oct/30/rise-of-far-right-puts-dreyfus-affair-into-spotlight-in-french-election-race}}</ref>

The reference to not repeating them follows attempts by the French far right to question Dreyfus' innocence. An army colonel was [[Cashiering|cashiered]] in 1994 for publishing an article suggesting that Dreyfus was guilty; far-right politician [[Jean-Marie Le Pen]]'s lawyer responded that Dreyfus' exoneration was "contrary to all known jurisprudence". [[Éric Zemmour]], a far-right political opponent of Macron, said repeatedly in 2021 that the truth about Dreyfus was not clear; his innocence was "not obvious".<ref name=observer2021/>
