world’s oldest man, Israel Kristal, died Friday in the Israeli city of Haifa
at the age of 113. Kristal’s daughter, Schulamit Kristal,
confirmed her father’s death following reports of his death in local
newspapers.

The Guinness Book of Records awarded Kristal
the title of world’s oldest man in March 2016 and he recently celebrated the
100th anniversary of his Bar Mitzvah, the Jewish celebration of religious
maturity, in late 2016 with his family.
A party for his 113th birthday was to
hold on September
15.
Kristal who moved to Israel in 1950 was
born on September 15, 1903, in the Polish village of Zarnow.
He was deported to Auschwitz in 1944 and lost
his first wife and two children during the Holocaust.
