He was present at the trial of Alfred Dreyfus in December, 1894. He witnessed the degradation of Dreyfus and heard the cries of "Down with the Jews" in the streets of Paris. He read Edouard Drumont's anti-Semitic journal "La France Juive" and said, "I have to thank Drumont for much of the freedom of my present conception of the Jewish problem."
When Herzl arrived in Paris anti-Semitism, had not in spite of Drumont's exertions, and in spite of his paper, la Libre Parole, founded in 1892 achieved the dimensions of a genuine movement, nor was it destined to become one in the German sense.
An officer by the name of Alfred Dreyfus was named as the culprit, and no one had reason to doubt that he was guilty, even though Drumont's Libre Parole was exploiting the fact that the man was a Jew. But, after the degradation of Dreyfus, Herzl became more and more convinced of his innocence.
You have, for instance, up and down Europe, the very powerful and exceedingly well-written anti-Semitic papers, of which Drumont's "Libre Parole" was long the chief. You have the Single-tax papers. You have the Teetotal papers and, really, it is a wonder that you have not yet also had the Iconoclasts and the Diabolists producing papers.
