León Dujovne (15 November 1898 – 16 January 1984) was an Argentine writer, philosopher, essayist and journalist.
Early life
Dujovne was born to Jewish parents in the village of Kurilovich, near the small town of Mohyliv-Podilskyi (Vinnytsia Oblast), on the border with Bessarabia (Moldova) in the Russian Empire. 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.León Dujovne: [http://www.raoulwallenberg.net/wp-content/files_flutter/1296225734ebookdujovnesarmienRosarino, La filosofía de la Historia de Sarmiento]{{Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, publicación póstuma, en homenaje al 20o aniversario de su fallecimiento.
