Early Life
Pierre Gemayel was born on 6 November 1905, in the city of Bekfayya, Lebanon. He was raised there where some of his ancestors had played a prominent role since 1540. His father Amine Bachir Gemayel, known as Abou Ali, and his uncle were forced to flee to Egypt after being sentenced to death in 1914 for opposing Ottoman rule, returning to Lebanon only at the end of World War I.
