He’s been called America’s greatest living tailor and the most interesting man in the world. Now, for the first time, Holocaust survivor Martin Greenfield tells his incredible life story. Taken from his Czechoslovakian home at age fifteen, arrested for being a Jew, and transported to the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz with his family, Greenfield came face to face with the Angel of Death, Dr. Joseph Mengele and was divided forever from his family. Greenfield overcame adversity and emerged with a dream of success. After arriving in the States and sweeping floors at a New York clothing factory, Greenfield ultimately founded America’s premier custom suit company. Still working at his Brooklyn factory, Greenfield continues to dress A‑listers of D.C. and Hollywood, including Bill Clinton, Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jimmy Fallon.
