Maybe there's two BK's. The one playing video games, and the one chatting
on TS, forums, Skype. So now that the chatting BK is gone, we are left with
the BK that's still playing, but doesn't understand english
This is messed up

The Nancy failed roundup
(Full translation of the only French/Polish Wikipedia topic )
The Nancy roundup of 19 July 1942 was part of a larger operation organized by nazi Germany to deport Jews from the occupied territories of Western Europe (France, the Netherlands and Belgium). Opération Vent printanier ("Operation Spring Breeze") planned originally the arrest of all the Jews of Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris on the same day. France had to deliver 110,000 Jews in year 1942.
The transaction included in occupied France, the Vélodrome d'Hiver roundup in Paris, on 16 and 17 July 1942, and the one of the Marne, on July 20, 1942. It was about foreign or stateless Jews emigrated mostly from Poland, Lithuania, Romania and Hungary.
On 18 July 1942, Edouard Vigneron, the head of the Nancy Foreign Police, learns that the roundup of Jews in Nancy is for the next day. He summoned all the policemen he can join to do away all the threatened Jews, knowing them mostly for having provide their papers. He doesn’t hesitate to escort them himself to the station and make them return tickets and passes to reach the French "free zone". Policemen have even sheltered in their home several of these threatened Jews.
Edouard Vigneron, his deputy Pierre Marie and their five men so launched a massive operation to rescue more than 350 of the 385 threatened Jews. However, 32 of them were arrested.
Edouard Vigneron was arrested after these events, but released and rehabilitated at the Liberation.
Edouard Vigneron , Pierre Marie and three fellow officers Charles Bouy , François Pinot and Charles Thouron were later recognized as Righteous Among The Nations by the Yad Vashem Memorial.

" Es ist Zeit, daß jetzt etwas getan wird. Derjenige allerdings, der etwas zu tun wagt, muß sich bewußt sein, daß er wohl als Verräter in die deutsche Geschichte eingehen wird. Unterläßt er jedoch die Tat, dann wäre er ein Verräter vor seinem eigenen Gewissen. "
" It's time now that something is being done. However, whoever dares to do something must be aware that he will probably go down as a traitor in the German history. However, if he omits to act, then he would be a traitor before his own conscience. "
