Holocaust survivor tailors an American success story: Martin Greenfield immigrated to the United States after World War II and started a tailoring business that eventually took him as far as the White House.

“At Auschwitz, the prisoners were sorted by gender, and Martin’s 5-year-old brother, who had been hanging on him “like I was a hero,” went with his father. His younger sister was pulled away from his mother and other sister and sent in another direction because she had blond hair and blue eyes. When the registrars asked if anyone knew a trade, his father offered up Martin as a skilled mechanic.”
