Walter Bingham, a 102-year-old Holocaust survivor and veteran journalist from Jerusalem, recently completed a skydive to raise donations for lone soldiers serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Bingham, who is affiliated with Channel 7 and holds two Guinness World Records, is set to celebrate his 103rd birthday in January. His life story spans over a century, beginning in pre-World War II Germany, including service in the British Army, and culminating in a long career in journalism and radio.
Born in Germany in 1924, Bingham escaped the Nazis as a child through the Kindertransport, an operation that brought thousands of Jewish children to Britain. He later enlisted in the British Army and fought against Nazi Germany, earning a military medal for bravery. After the war, he transitioned to a career in media, working extensively in journalism and radio, fields he remains active in at his advanced age.
