What if survivors doing the best they can isn't good enough? What happens when bad people make better decisions than good people? Delving deep into the human questions that are too often left untouched, Blood of the Soul, a family saga set in WWII, follows two Hamburg households as they attempt to survive on opposite sides of the war.

Max Mueller, a decorated WWI veteran, regains a sense of purpose when he joins the Nazi party. Although he is no longer capable of combat, the nephews he raised, Rolf and Aloise, serve their country with pride, one joining a tank battalion, the other in the SS fighting along the Russian front.

Meanwhile Chaim and Judith Segel, Jewish shopkeepers naively trusting the goodwill of their neighbors, are also separated from their children-their son David is captured for slave labor, while their daughters Anna and Lara are sent into hiding.

During a time when the best and worst of mankind battle for the soul of humanity, it can be hard to distinguish good from evil, right from wrong, and victim from victor. Blood of the Soul reveals just how shaky the line is that separates hero from villain.
