He was a Holocaust survivor. In rec.scuba, on Sun 23 Sep 2007 02:56:02p, "chilly" <slarson@shaw.canada> wrote: > He was a Holocaust survivor. Depends upon your definition, I guess. If someone didn't go to the death camps, is he anymore of a Holocaust survivor than any of the non-Jews who didn't go? I would think that the term should be reserved for those who did go to the camps and managed to make it out alive. His father did go and did die in the camps from what I understand. > In rec.scuba, on Sun 23 Sep 2007 02:56:02p, "chilly" > <slarson@shaw.canada> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > did go to the camps and managed to make it out alive.

If that info > was incorrect, sorry about that. This is what the Washington Post had to say: "At the outbreak of World War II, his father, a butcher, was arrested, sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp and later executed by the Nazis. The remaining family fled to Limoges. In 1944, Marceau changed his name and became active in the French underground, altering identity cards, and, masquerading as a Boy Scout director leading a hike in the Alps, he smuggled hundreds of Jewish children into Switzerland. He later joined the French Army and served during the Allied occupation of Germany." Here is a website that talks specifically about Holocaust survivors: http://www.holocaustsurvivors.org/survivors.php And an American museum: http://www.ushmm.org/remembrance/registry/ Looks like he might qualify. There is a difference between a camp survivor and a holocaust survivor.

Maybe I'm wrong. It wouldn't be the first time and it won't be the last. I still not sure that I agree with their definition of including basically refugees in the group of "Holocaust Survivors". They wouldn't be trying to artificially inflate their numbers, would they? > In rec.scuba, on Sun 23 Sep 2007 07:03:12p, "chilly" > <slarson@shaw.canada> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > to > artificially inflate their numbers, would they? could be right!!!!!!!~!! Those commies, Jews, muslims and blacks do that type of thing, bastards. Although to be fair the Jews do seem to concentrate on Holocaust VICTIMS not survivors. Some even acknowledge that not all victims were Jewish > Maybe I'm wrong.

They wouldn't be trying to > artificially inflate their numbers, would they? God forbid someone would try to inflate the numbers and make it look worse than a mere 6,000,000 Jews killed. What, do they want sympathy or something?

What, do they want sympathy > or something? Agreed. You would think that 6,000,000 would be a large enough number for them. I don't have an issue with them saying that the 6,000,000 killed are Holocaust victims. I don't have a problem with them saying that the ones who survived the death camps be classified as Holocaust survivors. I'm just not so sure that claiming that someone who didn't like the current political climate and decided to leave town should also be classified as a Holocaust survivor. Maybe "Holocaust refugee", but not "Holocaust survivor". It's just a semantics issue, I guess. Uh, does that classify as an inadvertant pun? I have to ask... if he wasn't a diver or something related... whats his passing got to do with all these post here? I've never heard of him before... and really not broken up over it. >I have to ask... if he wasn't a diver or something related... whats > his passing got to do with all these post here? > > I've never heard of him before... and really not broken up over it. you wouldn't of heard of him because he was a very quiet man on the other hand you could be an ignorant prick with your head up your bum > >I have to ask... if he wasn't a diver or something related... whats > > his passing got to do with all these post here?

You probably haven't heard of him because you're a young kid. Don't worry, you'll grow out of it. The reason there are all the posts about him here is that he's French and we like to make fun of the French. The fact that he is a mime just makes it all the more fun to make fun of him. "If a tree falls on a mime in the forest, does either make a sound?" > I have to ask... if he wasn't a diver or something related... whats > his passing got to do with all these post here? Because the folks here want to talk about it. If you've got something you want to talk about (diving or something related), start a thread. If its worthy, folks will reply and it'll be at least a couple of days before it turns into politics or guns. If not, they won't, and we'll continue discussing politics or guns (or whatever else) in other threads. Many of the regulars have been here for years. Some are friends and some are, as they say in the Shire, bosom enemies. > I've never heard of him before... and really not broken up over it.

Its a bit different than some Hollywood type wantong to move to Canada because of Bush, or those claiming to leave the country of Clinton is elected.

His father did go > and did die in the camps from what I understand. We could ask jAnus Jew-hater. He's an -expert- on the Holocaust. His definition, clearly stated, is that they were all "communist collaborators", man, woman and child. And that they deserved what happened to them.

I still recall also getting a chuckle out of his appearance in the Mel Brooks feature, "Silent Movie" (1976): Mel gave Marcel Marceau the only spoken line in the entire movie. -hh > > "dechucka" <dechu...@vomithotmail.com> pounded away at his keyboard > > resulting in: [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Brooks feature, "Silent Movie" (1976): Mel gave Marcel Marceau the > only spoken line in the entire movie. :^) >> "dechucka" <dechu...@vomithotmail.com> pounded away at his keyboard >> resulting in: [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Brooks feature, "Silent Movie" (1976): Mel gave Marcel Marceau the > only spoken line in the entire movie. yeah forgot about that.
