Holocaust survivor Martin Greenfield was born in Czechoslovakia in 1928. Martin survived the Mukačevo ghetto, Auschwitz II-Birkenau death camp, Auschwitz III-Monowitz concentration camp, and Buchenwald concentration camp. He was liberated by American armed forces at Buchenwald. Martin immigrated to the United States, where he became a reputable tailor for multiple U.S. presidents (including President Eisenhower, President Clinton, and President Obama), politicians, and celebrities.

Martin was interviewed by USC Shoah Foundation in Brooklyn, New York in 1996.
