León Dujovne (15 November 1898 – 16 January 1984) was an Argentine writer, philosopher, essayist and journalist.
Early life
Dujovne was born to Ukrainian-Jewish parents in the village of Kurilovich, near the small town of Mohyliv-Podilskyi (Vinnytsia Oblast), on the border with Bessarabia (Moldova). At the age of one, his parents emigrated to Argentina; the family settled in Basavilbaso, Entre Ríos, one of the several Jewish colonies founded by Baron Maurice de Hirsch in the province.[1]
