The Presidents' Tailor
Maxmilian Grünfeld spoke Yiddish, lived in Czechoslovakia, lost his family to Nazi concentration camps, and had no business experience. Martin Greenfield lives on Long Island, speaks English, hand-tailors suits for U.S. presidents, and runs a bespoke clothing empire with high society clients and friends.
This is one and the same man, who is now a 95-year-old fashion legend, tailor to U.S. presidents and stars, and bon vivant about town. The Presidents’ Tailor – From Auschwitz to the White House tells the story of how one man became the other, against all odds, and how he is now grappling with his own legacy.
