Early life and education
[edit]Person was born Samuel Bär Person in Amsterdam to parents Helena (Lena) Aronowitz (b. 27 October 1858 in Palanga, Lithuania) and Elias Schmoeiloff Person (b. 15 October 1845 in Romny, Ukraine).
His family was Jewish. He was the youngest of seven children; the first six were born in Ukraine, and he was the only child born after his family had moved to the Netherlands.[citation needed]
