Gustavo Adolfo Martinez Zuviria (October 23, 1883-1962) best known for his pseudonym Hugo Wast was born in Cordoba, Argentina, and was a renowned novel and script writer.
He was known for his unabashed anti-semitism and his ideological association with French "integrisme," a Catholic Nationalist doctrine related to the National Front. In 1943, as Minister of Public Instruction of the military government, he reinstalled religious education in public schools breaking away from a sixty-year old secular tradition in Argentine education.
