He was born the son of an agrarian lawyer on September 18, 1881 in Botoșani, the capital city of Botoșani County, in the northern part of Moldavia, Romania. In 1900, along with six others, he was expelled from Romania for advocating peasant’s rights. Aronovici immigrated to the United States, where upon his arrival he worked as a laborer while teaching other immigrants in New Jersey.
