He’s been called 'America's greatest living tailor' and 'the most interesting man in the world.' Holocaust survivor Martin Greenfield shares his incredible life story for the first time. At fifteen, he was taken from his Czechoslovakian home to Auschwitz, where he encountered the infamous Dr. Joseph Mengele, forever separating him from his family. In haunting prose, Greenfield recounts his desperation as a teenager in the death camp and how an SS soldier's shirt changed his fate. Learning to sew, he discovered that clothes held immense power and could even save his life. This memoir tells of a man who endured unimaginable horrors yet emerged with dreams of success. From sweeping floors in a New York clothing factory to founding a premier custom suit company, Greenfield built a fashion empire. Now 86 and working with his sons, he has dressed influential figures in D.C. and Hollywood, including Presidents Eisenhower, Clinton, and Obama, as well as celebrities like Paul Newman and Leonardo DiCaprio. Written with honesty and a touch of humor, this memoir is a unique testament to resilience and hope, inspiring readers with Greenfield’s remarkable journey.
