I'm German myself ;) But in this context (great human being) it's not used here as a single word, perhaps "eine Seele von Mensch sein" (to be a good-hearted soul).

Yeah, but English picked it up through Yiddish by way of Ashkenazi entertainers. When I see it in German I have to remind myself to not apply the implication that the person is one to be admired
