Born to Jewish parents in Poland, Kamien and his family escaped the Warsaw Ghetto before it was razed in 1944.[1][2] Together with his father, Kamien moved to Munich, Bavaria, and finally immigrated to the United States in 1947, arriving in New York City.[1] As his father struggled to regain a footing, Morton Kamien stayed in an orphanage in Far Rockaway, Queens.[1]
Kamien also acted as an expert witness in several high-profile antitrust cases, including Conwood vs. U.S. Tobacco and American Express vs. Visa/Mastercard,[5] leading to the largest antitrust jury award ($1.05 billion) and antitrust settlement ($4.1 billion) to date.[1]
