Ordinary, Extraordinary: My Father’s Life

Every Holocaust survivor has a story of how they survived. Each story is unique and is a tribute to the survivor, who through a combination of luck, endurance, perseverance, the kindness of others, intelligence, hard work, and pure determination, somehow survived the most methodical genocide of all time. Ordinary, Extraordinary is the survival story of Bernard Pinsky's father, Rubin Pinsky, and some of Rubin's immediate family.
It is also the story of what Rubin did with his life after the Holocaust. BERNARD PINSKY was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB, where he graduated with a BA and LLB from the University of Manitoba. He is married, has two adult sons, and lives in Vancouver, BC, where he practised law for more than 40 years. Bernard is now engaged full time as board chair of a charitable foundation.
