Ernesto Che Guevara's birth
happened under a garb of ambiguity. Guevara's birth certificate records
his birthday as June 14, 1928. His real birth date was on May 14, 1928.
In a way this typified the way Che spent most of his adult life.
The birth certificate was doctored because the family wanted to protect Che's mother from scandal that would come about due to her being pregnant at the time of her marriage.
Che was born in Rosario, Argentina. He was the eldest of his 4 siblings. Che is a nickname that was acquired when Guevara was studying. It means "mate" or "friend" in South America. Che studied medicine in the University of Buenos Aires. He completed his studies in 1953.
