Uris was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Jewish American parents Wolf William and Anna (née Blumberg) Uris. His father, a Polish-born immigrant, was a paperhanger, then a storekeeper. His mother was first-generation Russian American. William spent a year in Palestine after World War I before entering the United States. He derived his last name from Yerushalmi, meaning "man of Jerusalem". (His brother Aron, Leon's uncle, took the name Yerushalmi.) "He was basically a failure", Uris later said of his father. "I think his personality was formed by the harsh realities of being a Jew in Czarist Russia. I think failure formed his character, made him bitter."The most expensive item with a signature of Leon Uris (1958 EXODUS A NOVEL OF ISRAEL BY LEON URIS SIGNED 1ST EDITION HISTORICAL SA1341) was sold in August 2022 for $1072.50 while the cheapest item (LEON URIS EXODUS AUTHOR SIGNED CARD d. 2003) found a new owner for $0.95 in March 2019.
