	Massage's Greatest Humanitarian: Felix Kersten
		Felix Kersten (1898-1960), sometimes referred to as a doctor but most often as a masseur, is responsible for saving the lives of countless human beings during World War II.
		Kersten called this method "manual therapy" or "nerve therapy." Through his ministrations to Himmler, Kersten was able to convince the SS boss to avert plans to send millions to their death.
		Kersten became so bold in his ministrations of relief to Himmler that he was able to plea-bargain for the lives of his friends, government officials in his homeland and other important and often ordinary people who came to his attention.

		Kersten e seus colaboradores faziam listas de pessoas que eles queriam excluídas dos campos de concentração dos inevitáveis fornos da morte.
		Kersten tornou-se tão ousado em suas sessões de terapia de alívio a Himmler que ele era capaz de barganhar em favor das vidas dos seus amigos, de funcionários do governo em seu país de origem e outras pessoas importantes, mas com freqüência pessoas comuns que o procuravam o caiam na sua atenção.
		Kersten viveu em constante ameaça de ser exposto, mas as sessões de terapia e conversas pessoais com Himmler lhe forneceram a proteção necessária em cada esforço que ele fez para salvar mais vidas.

		Kersten ya tenía conquistado a Rodolfo Brandt, el secretario personal de Himmler, para trazar el vasto plan debía también ganarse la confianza de sus esbirros, los inmmediatos en la línea de mando de Himmler, el coronel de las SS, Walter Schellenberg y el general Gottlob Berger.
