Description

Martin Greenfield's incredible life story is one of unimaginable horror and ultimate triumph. Born into a Czechoslovakian family, Greenfield was just 15 when he was taken from his home and transported to the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz. The experience had a profound impact on his life, but it was a simple shirt that would change everything. When Greenfield began wearing the shirt under his prisoner uniform, he discovered that clothes could be a source of power and even help him survive. From the depths of despair, Greenfield found a way to rebuild his life. He learned to sew and eventually built a fashion empire that would take him from sweeping floors in a New York clothing factory to dressing the famous and powerful. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for his craft, Greenfield has dressed countless celebrities and politicians, including Presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Written with soul-baring honesty and a wry sense of humor, Measure of a Man is a memoir that will leave you inspired by the resilience of the human spirit.
