Dr Kersten Snached Many From Concentration Camps

During those blood-filled days between 1940 and 1945 when names like Hitler, Himmel, and Goering struck terror in the hearts of millions, Dr. Kersten rescued thousands from sure death at the hands of the mad-dog Nazis. As personal physician and manual therapist to Heinrich Himmel, he had amazing powers over Germany’s number two man. Dr. Kersten used this influence to keep many from becoming victims of the wanton killers who led Germany. Week by week Kersten snatched Himmel’s victims from concentration camps and gas chambers. The World Jewish Council credits him with saving 60,000 of their people, and the number of Dutch, Poles, Finns, and Norwegians he saved is difficult to estimate. The great influence of this little known and quiet man changed the course of destiny for many, and perhaps for the whole world. (Encyclopedia of Illustrations #1905).
