The Time Tunnel books are a popular Israeli Magic Tree House-style series about ten year-old friends Dan and Sharon who travel back in time to periods in Israeli and Jewish history. In this English edition, created just for PJ Our Way, Sharon and Dan (and Dan’s older brother Eran) meet Alfred Dreyfus in a French prison, just as he is wrongfully convicted of treason for spying against France. They discover how the rampant anti-Semitism of the time caused his arrest and they attend the shocking ceremony in which Alfred Dreyfus is stripped of his rank before a jeering mob. When they see Theodore Herzl among the crowd, they finally understand how this incident inspired Herzl to propose the creation of a Jewish homeland. Kids will be fascinated as they view history through Dan and Sharon’s contemporary eyes; this second translated volume can be enjoyed independently of its prequel, The Time Tunnel: Jerusalem Under Siege.

Great book! Everyone should read it!
The Time Tunnel 2, The Dreyfus Affair by Galila Ron-Feder-Amit is a great book. It is part of the Time Tunnel series and is about a trip by a boy and girl into France in 1895. The boy and girl, Dan and Sharon, have already made multiple trips into the past, but in this book, they witness an anti-Semitic incident. They meet Captain Alfred Dreyfus, whose biased trial gave Benjamin Herzl his dream for a Jewish state. I like this book because it taught me a lot about Antisemitism. It is an exciting book, and I think everybody should read it.
