“It truly is a story like no other.”

E. Randol Schoenberg, lawyer, genealogist and author.

Chris Bock’s An Ordinary Man is history captured through a personal lens - a WW2 adventure, a family saga, a love story, and a testament to the power of the human spirit. A true story of a Jewish gay man’s extraordinary life, from escaping Nazi oppression in Austria– saving his family via a winning lottery ticket– to finding refuge of sorts in Japan before finally settling down to a quiet life back in Vienna after the war. An Ordinary Man is the story of the extraordinary Paul Patek, who witnessed some of the 20th century’s most traumatic events with an unfailing optimism and spirit.
