But today he has done the unthinkable. http://www.dw.com/en/holocaust-survivor-becomes-worlds-oldest-man-at-112/a-19111712 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Not sure if I envy him or not....On one hand he's had a great innings but on the other he has had to endure over 70 years of the worst memories that life could throw at him......We can but hope that he has managed to find some semblance of peace.
