Hanussen, Erik Jan. Erik Jan Hanussen. Hellsehen. [Germany], ca. 1931. Striking lithograph poster advertising occult-leaning s?ances at Hanussen?s mansion. Designed by Peter Eng. 27 ? x 18 ??. Tiny border chip. A. Rare. Biographer Mel Gordon dubbed Hanussen ?Hitler?s Jewish Clairvoyant,? an apt title based on the psychic?s intimate involvement and friendships with members of the Third Reich. It was an association that would later cost Hanussen his life. This poster advertises s?ances Hanussen conducted at his home, commonly known as the ?Palace of the Occult.? In addition to apparently telling the future, Hanussen promoted the feats of strongmen, was a hypnotist, astrologer, and occultist. He was assassinated by the Nazis on March 25, 1933, shortly after predicting the Reichstag fire which allowed Hitler to assume absolute power.
