Community Tea and Book Launch with  Special Guest  Mr. Bernard Pinsky

April 14, 2024 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

On Sunday, April 14 at 11a.m.

We are very honoured to invite you for tea & scones and book launch with Mr. Bernard Pinsky. Author Pinsky shares his dad’s compelling story of Holocaust survival in “Ordinary, Extraordinary: My Father’s Life” book. He will present this unique story at the event and you will be able to ask any questions you might have. Mr. Pinsky will also be signing books.

Retired lawyer Bernard Pinsky tells the story of his father Rubin’s life, this “ordinary Jewish man” somehow survived the Holocaust in Eastern Europe by joining a roving band of partisan resistance fighters.

Mr. 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 practiced law for more than 40 years. Bernard is now engaged full-time as board chair of the Ronald S. Roadburg Foundation.

The Ronald S. Roadburg Foundation will sponsor the book purchase and the event. Please let us know at the registration for the event that you would like the book. 

As we are expecting a large crowd, please pre-register by Wednesday, April 10.
