Generation to Generation Dinner

November 12, 2015 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Sponsored by the Museum’s Associates and Young Friends, this event brings together Holocaust survivors, their families, and friends to pay tribute to the six million Jews who perished, while honoring those individuals who survived to rebuild their families and communities. This year’s dinner will feature the story of Martin Greenfield. Born in Czechoslovakia in 1928, Martin was in Auschwitz during the Holocaust and was liberated by the American Army. He immigrated to the United States in 1947 at the young age of 19. In New York, he began working for GGG Clothiers and in 1977, he bought the company and renamed it Martin Greenfield Clothiers. Known as the “tailor to the stars,” he has made suits for many celebrities, including three presidents. He remains in business today with his two sons by his side. A digital Commemorative Journal will be screened at the dinner.

To purchase tickets, visit mjhnyc.org.

To place your tribute in the Commemorative Journal, contact Rachel Birch at rbirch@mjhnyc.org or 646.437.4253.
