Martin Greenfield, the celebrity tailor who immigrated to the United States after surviving the Holocaust, has died at the age of 95, his sons announced on social media
Greenfield learned to sew while he was a prisoner in Auschwitz, according to the New York Jewish Week. He had ripped a Nazi soldier's shirt and was taught to sew by another prisoner. He then wore the discarded shirt after fixing it.
"The day I first wore that shirt was the day I learned clothes possess power," Greenfield wrote in his 2014 memoir, "The Measure of a Man," New York Jewish Week quoted. "Clothes don’t just ‘make the man,’ they can save the man. They did for me."
