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 and transported to the
Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz with his family, Greenfield
came face to face with "Angel of Death" Dr. Joseph Mengele and was
divided forever from his parents, sisters, and baby brother. In
haunting, powerful prose, Greenfield remembers his desperation and
fear as a teenager alone in the death camp and how an SS soldier's
shirt dramatically altered the course of his life. He learned how
to sew; and when he began wearing the shirt under his prisoner
uniform, he learned that clothes possess great power and could even
help save his life. Measure of a Man is the story of a man who
suffered unimaginable horror and emerged with a dream of success.
From sweeping floors at a New York clothing factory to founding
America's premier custom suit company, Greenfield built a fashion
empire. Now 86 years old and working with his sons, Greenfield has
dressed the famous and powerful of D.C. and Hollywood, including
Presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama,
celebrities Paul Newman, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jimmy Fallon, and
the stars of Martin Scorsese's films. Written with soul-baring
honesty and, at times, a wry sense of humor, Measure of a Man is a
memoir unlike any other one that will inspire hope and renew faith
in the resilience of man.
