The incredible story of Felix Kersten who used his influence over
Henrich Himmler to save thousands of lives during the Second World
War. Steven Spielberg's Oscar winning film Schindler's List turned
the hero Oscar Schindler into a household name, telling the story
of the man who saved countless thousands from Nazi Germany's
concentration camps. Few, however, have heard of Felix Kersten, the
rotund, avuncular, and reluctant Finn who was pulled into the Third
Reich's corridors of power as Heinrich Himmler's personal
physician, seemingly the only person who could cure the chief
architect of the Holocaust of his crippling stomach pains.
Kersten's success with Himmler gave him extraordinary power over
the second most important person in the Nazi regime. He was able to
ultimately save thousands of lives from the concentration camps and
outlive his captor. As Himmler said himself: 'With every one of his
massages, Dr Kersten deprives me of a life.' The Man With
Miraculous Hands tells the story of a mild-mannered modern-day hero
who, caught in the midst of the worst atrocities of the 20th
century, restores our hope in mankind.
