Shaul Ladany - the Great Survivor
The Israeli race-walker who survived the Holocaust and the Munich Olympics shootings in 1972.
Shaul Ladany is a long-distance Israeli race-walker who set world records that stand to this day. But, even more remarkably, he survived a childhood in the Belsen concentration camp and then the terrorist attack on the Israeli team at the Munich Olympics in 1972.
Shaul Ladany talks to Will Yates.
