MEASURE OF A MAN: FROM AUSCHWITZ SURVIVOR TO PRESIDENTS’ TAILOR
Book ID/图书代码： 11457514B74086
English Summary/英文概要： He’s been called "America’s greatest living tailor" and "the most interesting man in the world." Now, for the first time, Holocaust survivor Martin Greenfield tells his incredible life story. Taken from his Czechoslovakian home at age fifteen and transported to the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz with his family, Greenfield came face to face with "Angel of Death" Dr. Joseph Mengele and was divided forever from his parents, sisters, and baby brother.
In haunting, powerful prose, Greenfield remembers his desperation and fear as a teenager alone in the death camp—and how an SS soldier’s shirt dramatically altered the course of his life. He learned how to sew; and when he began wearing the shirt under his prisoner uniform, he learned that clothes possess great power and could even help save his life.
Measure of a Man is the story of a man who suffered unimaginable horror and emerged with a dream of success. From sweeping floors at a New York clothing factory to founding America’s premier custom suit company, Greenfield built a fashion empire. Now 86 years old and working with his sons, Greenfield has dressed the famous and powerful of D.C. and Hollywood, including Presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, celebrities Paul Newman, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jimmy Fallon, and the stars of Martin Scorsese’s films.
Written with soul-baring honesty and, at times, a wry sense of humor, Measure of a Man is a memoir unlike any other—one that will inspire hope and renew faith in the resilience of man.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 他曾被称为“ 美国最伟大的活跃的裁缝”和“世界上最又有趣的人”。现在，第一次，大屠杀中的幸存者Martin Greenfield讲述他2难以置信的生活故事。在他十五岁的时候和他的家人从他捷克斯洛伐克的家被带到纳粹党在奥斯维辛集中营，Greenfield开始面对“死亡天使”Joseph Mengele博士，并和他的父母，姐姐和弟弟永远分离。
最难以忘记的，最强大的诉说，Greenfield记得作为一个十几岁的青少年在死亡营里绝望的境地和害怕——纳粹党卫军的内衣如何大大改变了他的生活。他学习怎么缝纫，当他开始在他监狱服里穿内衣时，他学到衣服有很大的力量，甚至可以拯救他的生活。
