MARTIN GREENFIELD, A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR DIED ON WEDNESDAY AT THE AGE OF 95.(PHOTO).

  Martin Greenfield, a Holocaust survivor

whose custom-suit empire counted US presidents and celebrities among its

clientele, died on Wednesday aged 95, according to the New York Times.

Widely considered one of the best tailors in the United States, Greenfield

believed clothing had saved his life.

Born Maximilian Grunfeld to a Jewish family from a part of Czechoslovakia

that is now in Ukraine, he was imprisoned at Auschwitz as a teenager and

tasked with washing the guards' clothes.

After being beaten for accidentally ripping a Nazi's shirt, he mended it

and wore it underneath his uniform for the remainder of his time at the

concentration camp, where it was mistaken as signifying special privileges.

"The day I first wore that shirt was the day I learned clothes possess

power," he wrote in his memoir "Measure of a Man: From Auschwitz Survivor to

Presidents' Tailor".

Greenfield was freed in the 1945 liberation of Auschwitz, which was

supervised by then US president Dwight D. Eisenhower, who later commissioned

the survivor to make his suits.

At the age of 19, Greenfield boarded a ship to New York with just $10 in

his pocket.

Within weeks he had changed his name and found work at a Brooklyn clothing

factory.

Three decades later in 1977, he bought the factory, renamed it after

himself and proceeded to transform it into a New York City institution.

His handsewn suits became a status symbol, and his patrons included film,

music and sports stars, such as Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman, Martin Scorsese,

Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant and the mobster Meyer Lansky.

His business also clothed six presidents, including the last three: Barack

Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

HBO contracted him to make the 1920s-style outfits for crime drama

"Boardwalk Empire" and other TV and movie contracts followed.

According to the Times, his most recognizable creation may have been the

red suit and contrasting orange vest sported by Joaquin Phoenix's Joker.

In recent years, Greenfield handed over his business to his sons Tod and

Jay, retiring to the North Shore of Long Island.

On Wednesday, Greenfield died in the hospital, his son Tod told the Times. He is survived by his sons, his wife Arlene and four grandchildren.
