In honor of French Revolutionary War general François Séverin Marceau-Desgraviers, Marcel and his older brother Alain adopted the surname “Marceau” after Germany occupied France. The two brothers enlisted in the French Resistance in Limoges.
As members of the Jewish Resistance in France, they saved numerous children from racial discrimination and concentration camps. After Paris was liberated, they enlisted in the French army.
Marceau’s proficiency in English, French, and German allowed him to serve as a liaison officer with General George Patton’s Third Army.
Marceau believes that his mother took him to see a Charlie Chaplin movie when he was five years old because it enthralled him and motivated him to pursue a career in mime.
After the invasion of France, he initially utilized mime to occupy the attention of Jewish children while he helped them escape to Switzerland, a neutral country.
