Remembering Martin Greenfield
Martin Greenfield, a talented and successful tailor who crafted suits for former Presidents, Hollywood stars, athletes and Movies/Television, died this week at the age of 95. He learned to sew at Auschwitz. Here is his obituary from the NYTimes (link to read behind paywall.)
The story of his life has so many moments that leave me speechless. The terrors of the Holocaust and everything that was lost is horrific. He emigrated to America with only $10 in his pocket and built an incredible business that is well respected and seems to have a lovely family. Reading the details in his obituary are incredibly difficult but I’m glad I read it. I’m not going to leave quotes here but I do encourage you to read - it is why I started my newsletter this week with this moment. I really don’t have words but Alex Traub wrote a powerful and meaningful obituary. May Martin Greenfield’s memory be a blessing.
