Good Blood A Journey of Healing by Irit Schaffer <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
When she was a child, her father said that he had \u201cgood blood.\u201d It was why he survived and healed.<\/div>\n

“People ask me when I began my journey with Good Blood, and my answer is always the same “when I was born.” I laugh when I say it, but it is true. As a child in Montréal, I would curl up next to my dad and beg to hear the stories of his childhood, his family, and his incredible war experiences. “Dad, tell me again how you had the bullets taken out without pain medicine, and you didn’t even cry. Dad, tell me again how you healed.” “Dad, tell me again,” was my favorite line.  <\/em><\/p>\n

With my mom, it was different. It was forbidden to talk to her about the Holocaust for fear that she would faint, and I was always afraid she wouldn’t come to…<\/em> it took me over 50 years to get her to share her actual experiences.<\/em><\/p>\n
