Walter Polanec

All of the people with the Polanec in the Graz population records were Catholic. He was, however, in a list of Jews who lost their citizenship and had their property confiscated. Perhaps further research will yield information on Jewish ancestry on his father's side, e.g., his paternal grandmother.
