Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926, to a family of Polish and Jewish descent; his parents were Stanis?aw "Simkha" Go?cinny (the surname means hospitable in Polish), a chemical engineer from Warsaw, Poland, and Anna Bere?niak-Go?cinna from Chodorków, a small village in the Second Polish Republic, now Ukraine. Claude, René's older brother was born 6 years earlier; on 10 December 1920. Stanis?aw and Anna had met in Paris and married in 1919. The Go?cinnys moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, two years after René's birth, because of a chemical engineer post Stanis?aw had obtained there. He spent a happy childhood in Buenos Aires, and studied in the French schools there. He had a habit of making everyone laugh in class, probably to compensate for a natural shyness. He started drawing very early on, inspired by the illustrated stories which he enjoyed reading.
