A 112-year-old Israeli Holocaust survivor who lived through both world wars is now the world's oldest living man, Guinness World Records said on Friday, according to AFP.
The man, Yisrael Kristal, was born in what is now Poland on September 15, 1903, three months before the Wright brothers took the first aeroplane flight. He lived in the country through the First World War and until the Nazi occupation in World War II, when he was eventually sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Guinness confirmed on Friday he was now considered the world's oldest living man.
