Answer:

"An Ordinary Man" is an autobiography of Paul Rusesabagina. Paul was a hotel manager. On 7th April 1994, Rwanda Genocide broke down in Rwanda. Mass slaughter of Tutsi took place in the city during Rwanda Civil War.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul Rusesabagina was able to save 1,268 people in his hotel during this mass murder. The text evidence of Rusesabagina's actions are:

"When the militia and the Army came with orders to kill my guests, I took them into my office, treated them like friends, offered them beer and cognac, and then persuaded them to neglect their task that day. And when they came back, I poured more drinks and kept telling them they should leave in peace once again. It went on like this for seventy-six days."

"I would have used in saner times to order a shipment of pillowcases, for example, or tell the shuttle van driver to pick up a guest at the airport."

"I stayed at my post and continued to do my job as manager..."
