He was born Ludwik Dornbaum, to Jewish parents, Henryk Dornbaum, a socialist activist and Alina née Kluger, a doctor. All of his father's family was murdered during the Holocaust. In the 1960s Dornbaum family changed their name to Dorn. He was raised agnostic, but he converted to Roman Catholicism at the age of 51.
