Maxmilian Grünfeld spoke Yiddish, lived in Czechoslovakia, lost his family to Nazi concentration camps, and had no business experience. Martin Greenfield lives in Brooklyn, 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 93-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 is a feature-length documentary telling the story of how one man became the other, against all odds, and how he now grapples with his own legacy.
