La verdadera historia de la lista de Kersten, un relato desconocido de terror, fanatismo, generosidad y heroísmo.

Hasta las figuras más temibles de la historia tienen sus debilidades, y la de Heinrich Himmler fue sin duda su médico, cuyas manos milagrosas eran las únicas capaces de aliviar sus insoportables calambres abdominales. Felix Kersten, nacido en Estonia y formado por un maestro tibetano en Finlandia, era uno de los fisioterapeutas más prestigiosos de los años treinta, con una agenda internacional de pacientes y un buen patrimonio. En 1939, recibió la petición de atender a Himmler y, tras vencer sus dudas iniciales, se convirtió en su médico personal o, en palabras del Reichsführer, en su «Buda mágico». En lugar de recibir honorarios, pidió que le remuneraran mediante la liberación de judíos y combatientes de la resistencia.

Todos conocemos a Oskar Schindler, que salvó a mil judíos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pero sabemos mucho menos de la hazaña de Kersten y, sin embargo, el Congreso Judío Mundial estableció en 1947 que este hombre había salvado en Alemania a «unos cien mil prisioneros de distintas nacionalidades, entre ellos sesenta mil judíos, arriesgando su vida», una cifra sin duda subestimada.

Para seguirle los pasos a Kersten, François Kersaudy, gran especialista en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se ha sumergido en diarios, notas y declaraciones en seis lenguas de los principales protagonistas, y emplea todo este material para narrar de un modo admirable esta trama sin un ápice de ficción.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The true story of Kersten's list, an unknown tale of terror, fanaticism, generosity, and heroism.

Even the most terrifying personalities in history have weaknesses, and Heinrich Himmler's was, surely, his personal physician, whose miraculous hands were the only capable of easing his unbearable abdominal cramps. Felix Kersten was born in Estonia and learned under the tutelage of a Tibetan master in Finland. He was one of the most prestigious physical therapists of the nineteen-thirties, with an international clientele and a sizeable estate. In 1939, he received a request to treat Himmler, and after overcoming his initial hesitation, became his personal physician, or in the words of the Reichsführer himself, his "magical Buda". Instead of being given a fee, he asked to be paid by releasing jews and resistance fighters.

We all know Oskar Schindler, who saved a thousand jews during World War II. But we know much less about Kersten's deeds. And yet, the World Jewish Congress stated in 1947 that, back in Germany, this man saved "about one hundred thousand prisoners of different nationalities--sixty thousand jews among them--by risking his own life." No doubt, an underestimated figure.

To follow Kersten's path, François Kersaudy, one of the leading experts in World War II, plunged into diaries, notes, and statements of the main protagonists, in six different languages, using all this material to admirably recount a storyline that doesn't have a trace of fiction.

Works great! For basic temperature tracking it's a useful tool.
After years of relying on a combination of my pellet grill's temperature probe and my trusty instant read thermometer, I decided to get into the 21st century and invest in a wireless probe. Not wanting to spend a bunch of money, I saw that this was on sale and I figured that if it didn't work I wouldn't be out too much money. As I write this, I'm using it. It arrived last night and I went through the setup process. It was SO easy to set up and the app is nice and simple to use. I started my pork butt cook at 7am this morning and the probe has worked flawlessly! I compared the temperature readings to my instant read and they're within a degree of each other, so I know that what it's registering is accurate. To be honest, this isn't a huge game-changer for me as I've been smoking meat for years and have a process down. But I do like the fact that I can monitor my temperature remotely. I think where it will be the most impactful is in overnight cooks. I won't have to go out to my smoker I'm the middle of the night to check my temps. I can do that from the comfort of my bed! Though I've only used it once so far, I'm very satisfied with it. It seems to be rugged and made for the long haul. I'm looking forward to future cooks! Update: I've now done several cooks with the thermometer. My experience with it has been mostly positive. For tracking internal temperature, this probe is very accurate and right in line with my instant read thermometer. My only nit is that the ambient temperature sensor is a little finicky. It is slow to update, and I usually must wait 20-30 minutes for it to report the ambient temperature correctly. Not only that, you have to make sure that the probe depth line is right at the surface of the meat. I found that the margin for error is really slim with this. But other than that, it works great, and the app has made it so easy to track the cooking rate. My Thanksgiving turkey was spot-on this year and the probe helped immensely!

Best Tool I've Purchased In A Long Time!
Best tool I've purchased in a long time! This magnetic wireless meat thermometer is the perfect size for brisket, pork shoulders, roasts, and even steaks. Connected well with my iPhone, and looks like I have a professional thermometer. Slim and easy to use, the LED screen is easy to read and keeps me informed of my temps with audible beeps. The probe is easy to clean, and even after a long cook, it doesn't require much scrubbing. Durable and well worth the money.

Good Thermometer with a Great App
The user experience with this wireless thermometer is much different than with the Chef IQ ones. I had a Chef IQ for 2 years until my husband put it through the garbage disposal. The software sucked, but everything that did wrong, the Thermomaven does right. I don't even have to open the app bc as soon as I turn it the thermometer on, the temp pops up on my iphone as well as on the Thermomaven base - freeing up my phone. The screen is easy to read and is backlit. My only complaint is that the probe is too big. You just can't use this thing with burgers or thin chicken breasts. I also got the Thermomaven instant read thermometer which will work in those cases, and it's great as well and thin enough for anything. These people really make great products. I'm impressed.

Longer distance and still monitor
Nice thermometer works lon wifi and Bluetooth so you can go farther away from grill and monitor temperature, sometimes on the app it doesn't show the correct temperature you must refresh it. So far so good only 2 cooks with it

Great bbq tool
Works really well. Used it while smoking a brisket. Loved that I didn’t need to keep checking its progress. The app let me know when it reached correct temp
