The Nazi séance : the strange story of the Jewish psychic in Hitler's circle / Arthur J. Magida

Publication | Library Call Number: BF1283.H235 M34 2011
Book cover

Erik Jan Hannussen, a popular Jewish stage magician and mentalist from Austria, wowed audiences and amassed a small fortune in the 1920s and 30s. Perhaps his greatest trick, however, was that of becoming Hitler's personal psychic and advisor, moving comfortably in Nazi circles for many years while hiding his Jewish heritage.
