Dr Robert Michaelis: working papers for book on the Dreyfus affair
Dr. Robert Michaelis was born in 1903 in Berlin and died in Mainz in 1973. Being of Jewish extraction he emigrated to Shanghai in 1939 becoming president of the organisation of emigrant lawyers. Owing to his knowledge of the Chinese language he was able to work in a legal capacity and wrote articles on the rights of emigrants in Shanghai. He returned to Germany in 1948 where he became Senatpräsident for Mainz.
For many years he had been interested in the Dreyfus affair. When he retired in 1957 he devoted much of his time to researching the legal aspects of the case against Dreyfus.
