Världens äldste man död – blev 113 år

Yisrael Kristal (born Izrael Icek Kryształ; Hebrew: ישראל קרישטל‎‎; September 15, 1903 – August 11, 2017) was a Polish-Israeli man, who as a supercentenarian was recognized as the oldest living Holocaust survivor and who, since the death of Yasutaro Koide, was the oldest living man in the world and one of the 10 oldest men ever. Kristal was born to Jewish parents in Poland, then part of the Russian Empire, and had a religious upbringing. A confectioner by profession, he experienced World War I as a child, and World War II as an adult. After surviving the Holocaust, he emigrated to Israel. During World War II he was confined by the Nazi regime to a Jewish ghetto; his children died in the ghetto, but he and his wife were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Kristal survived the Holocaust, but his wife did not. He remarried shortly after the War and, in 1950, emigrated to Israel with his second wife Batsheva, also a survivor of the Holocaust, and their infant child. Kristal became the world's oldest recognized Holocaust survivor in 2014 and the world's oldest man in 2016.
