Oldest man dies

Holocaust survivor Israel Kristal, who last year was recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest living man, died in Israel yesterday, aged 113 years and 330 days. Kristal was born in Poland on September 15, 1903, and survived the Auschwitz death camp, where his first wife, two children and other family members were killed by the Nazis during World War II. He remarried after the war and moved to Israel in 1950.
