The first time Marceau attempted mime, it was to keep small Jewish children silent as they hid from Nazi hunters.

The movie 'Resistance' portrayed 'The Butcher of Lyon' Klaus Barbie as directly hunting Marcel down, but more likely it was just Klaus' underlings.

I remember being amazed by him when I saw him on TV as a child.

Me, too.

I even mimed as a small child; I think my mom encouraged it because mimes are silent.
