The Dark Mirror of a Nazi's Massage Therapist Felix Kersten, Heinrich Himmler's personal massage therapist, has long been celebrated as a hero for allegedly saving thousands from certain death during World War II.
However, new research and a recent film by director Felix Randau have shed light on the dark underbelly of this enigmatic figure.
Kersten's myth has been perpetuated by his own post war memoirs and reinforced by a biography that claimed he used his influence to save entire populations from deportation.
