The Holy Bible, probably the most diabolical work of fiction ever to be visited upon mankind.

You may well be aware of the fabulous Josephine Baker's spying but if not hope this is a return.

Marcel Marceau - Resistance fighter and orphan smuggler!

Fascinating stuff. I remember him well during the 1960's but never realised he had such an incredible backstory.

Apparently while in the resistance he stepped on a mime.

His comrades expected the bang but there was just an earie silence.

Marceau gingerly moved away from the mime as if feeling his way along an invisible wall.

Nobody ever heard from him again.

I understand the Swedish resistance used Norse code.

I don't think anyone needed this post in order to confirm just how unpleasant and disrespectful you can be.

The man put his life on the line to save children from the Nazi's and all you can do is make pathetic jokes! You totally disgust me.

Translation into recognisable English, please.

You might also post the reasons that justify your attitude to this man and his activities, or is that you are anti-Semitic and would have preferred that both he and the kids he helped had not survived the war?

I see no evidence of anti-semitism, perhaps just an ill-judged attempt at humour given the content of the OP.

And you, Sir, are beneath contempt.

I see that you cannot treat people with any respect if their opinion differs from yours and I am not feeding your ego any longer, I tried to talk to you as others but, hey, we all make mistakes, and this was one of my really big ones.

Enjoy your cess-pit posts. I have no intention of reading them ever again and wasting my time trying to be rerasonable with you!
