Lucie Dreyfus-Hadamard (23 August 1869 – 14 December 1945) was the wife of Alfred Dreyfus.
Life
Lucie Hadamard was born into a Parisian Jewish family in 1869. She married Alfred Dreyfus in 1890. The pair had two children: Pierre, born 1891, and Jeanne, born 1893.[1]
In 1894, as part of the Dreyfus Affair, Alfred Dreyfus was court-martialed for espionage and sentenced to a penal colony. Lucie worked to convince French authorities to exonerate her husband. She petitioned Parliament in 1896 but her petition was denied. In 1898 she published a collection of his letters under the title Letters of an Innocent. A subsequent petition resulted in a second court-martial being convened, which ultimately resulted in Alfred's exoneration.[1]
During the First World War Lucie worked as a Red Cross nurse. Alfred died in 1935. During the Second World War, Lucie lived in a convent to avoid becoming a victim of the Holocaust; a granddaughter, Madeleine Lévy, was killed in Auschwitz. Lucie died in Paris in 1945.[1][2]
