A Moment of Silence for Marcel Marceau

I'm not a fan of mimes. Maybe it's because I've seen so many bad ones, maybe it's an extension of my fear of clowns. But my dislike of the craft in no way extends to Marcel Marceau as a human being. A French Jew, Marceau lost his father to Auschwitz. Marceau spent the Holocaust working with the French Resistance to protect Jewish children from the Nazis. Always a peace loving man, in 2000 he spoke to reporters about the children lost in the Holocaust, "Among those kids was maybe an Einstein, a Mozart, somebody who (would have) found a cancer drug. That is why we have a great responsibility. Let us love one another." After more than 50 years performing all over the world, Marcel Marceau has passed away at the age of 84. Now, a moment of silence.
