Investopedia explains 'Leonid Hurwicz '
Hurwicz was born in Moscow in 1917, but he grew up in Poland, where his family relocated when the communists came to power in Russia. As a Jew facing Nazi occupation of Europe, he escaped to the United States, specifically to Chicago, where he had relatives. He audited Ludwig von Mises’s courses at the University of Chicago before ending up as a research assistant at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under fellow economist and Nobel Laureate Paul Samuelson.
