Born in Sârbi, Botoșani County, his parents Dumitru Cobzaru and Ecaterina (née Filipescu) were peasants. After completing elementary school in his native village in 1925, he finished the lower-level course at the Botoșani A. T. Laurian High School in 1929, followed by the superior commercial school in the same town in 1935. Arrested in 1937 and in 1940 and sent before a military court, he was acquitted. His pen name was Dumitru Corbea until 1945, when it also became his official name.[1]
