  In  Good Blood , Irit Schaffer tells the story of her parents' survival of the Holocaust, in two different camps. Her father always said he survived because he had good blood. As a midlife physical therapist, Irit set out to find what that meant -- and she finally also got her mother to share her story. Memories, reflections, healing are the dominant themes of this well-liked book that can relate to anyone, not just those affected by the Holocaust.   About the author: Born in Israel, raised in Canada, and now living in the US, Irit Schaffer works in her physical therapy and healing practice in California, where her good blood background, coupled with extensive educational training, has allowed her a unique perspective on the mind-spirit-connection.

Here she shares a photograph of her Aunt Elli, who is featured in the book, writing -  " Here is a photo of my Great Aunt Elli and myself in Kosice. She is 88 years old in the photo. Ice cream was a rare delicacy for her. She was the one who shared with me that the greatest gift of life is the gift of love. She shared how the Nazis knew nothing about love and what is important in life, and it was why she was able to forgive the Nazis. She was the closest person to an angel that I knew. She was filled with so much light and love. " Book description: When she was a child, her father said he had "good blood" and that is why he and his wife survived and healed from the Holocaust.
