Hate Kills

I learned this yesterday in The New Yorker. One of the results of the anti-Semitic furore during the Dreyfus affair was, in 1943, after her arrest by the Gestapo, Madeleine, granddaughter of Alfred Dreyfus, being deported by Vichy France (rife with anti-Dreyfusards) and ending her life at Auschwitz. It's awful how words are simply useless.
