Israel Kristal, 112

March 16, 2015; Israel Kristal was reportedly born in Zarnow, Russia (now Poland), on September 15, 1903. However, according to his family, he was born as Izrael Icek Krysztal (in Polish; now transliterated as "Israel Kristal") in the little nearby village of Malenie as a son of Moszek-Dawid and Brucha Krysztal. The village belonged to the Zarnow synagogue district and subsequently became part of the Lodz Voivodeship. The family was very poor. His mother, Brucha, died in 1910 and the father was drafted into the army during World War I. Israel Kristal was forced to work hard at a farm. According to his family, he didn't even have bar mitzvah, a traditional Jewish religious celebration.

In 1920, aged 17, he moved to Lodz. In 1928, he married Chaja Feige Frucht in Wegleszyn. They lived in Lodz, starting a candy and chocolate factory. Mr. Krysztal worked as a candy maker and confectioner. After the outbreak of World War II, they became residents of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto in Lodz occupied by the Germans. They lived in the ghetto between years 1940-1944. Both Kristal and his wife were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp after the ghetto was liquidated in 1944. They lost their two children to the Holocaust. Kristal's wife also died in Auschwitz, but Israel Kristal himself survived, performing backbreaking slave labour in Auschwitz and other concentration camps. After having been freed, Kristal returned to Lodz where lived for a couple more years.

He married again and moved to Haifa, Israel, in 1950, where he still lives. On January 19, 2016 he became the oldest verified living man in the world, following the death of Yasutaro Koide.

August 17, 2017; Israel Kristal died on August 11, 2017 at the age of 113 years, 330 days. At the time of his death, Kristal was the ninth-oldest verified man ever and the oldest person ever from Israel.
