Biography
Erik Jan Hanussen, born Hermann Steinschneider on June 2, 1889, in Vienna, was an acclaimed publicist and clairvoyant performer in Weimar Republic Germany and early Nazi Germany. He is said to have instructed Adolf Hitler in performance and crowd control techniques. He was assassinated on March 25, 1933, likely by members of the Sturmabteilung.
Achievements
Hanussen excelled as a hypnotist, mentalist, and occultist, rising to fame through his mind reading and hypnosis act in Berlin. He published an occult journal and a tabloid that included astrological columns, and he predicted significant events like the Reichstag fire. His closeness to Nazi figures was notable despite his Jewish ancestry.
Fun facts
Throughout his life, Hanussen claimed to be a Danish aristocrat, concealing his Jewish heritage. He converted to Protestantism to join the Nazi Party and published anti-Semitic propaganda. His prediction about the winner of a car race was verified when one of the names he wrote turned out to be the winner, while another died in the event.
