1 B6 STAR TRIBUNE Obituaries FRIDAY, MAY 2 1997 Nasal specialist Dr. Kurt Pollak dies; he escaped Nazis Dr. Kurt Pollak was such a well-known specialist at the University of Minnesota that he often traveled to other medical schools to lecture and demonstrate nasal surgery techniques. And he was a pioneer in treating head and neck cancers. -But Pollak, who died Tuesday of heart problems at age 76 at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, almost didn't become a doctor.

He missed, by a few days, joining his parents in becoming a victim of the Holocaust. 1. Pollak had just finished high school in Vienna when Hitler's armies took over Austria. He applied to get into the United States and was approved, thanks to an earlier encounter with a businessman from Minneapolis. Pollak became a pen pal with the man's daughter and she helped find someone to be his sponsor, which was essential in getting a visa.

But there was a catch. There was going to be a long wait before his number on the visa list came up for processing.

Also noted decided to try to get out of Austria by using his contacts in the underground. So the friend gave his number on the waiting list to Pollak. Pollak was on a boat to Italy when the Nazis came and got his mother. She probably died in a railroad car en route to a concentration camp.

His father, who was a traveling salesman and had been out of town for several weeks, apparently returned home to an execution squad. "We never found out for sure what happened to Kurt's parents. What we know came from Jews who survived," said Pollak's wife, Martha. "We went to Vienna and everything, but we couldn't be sure. That always bothered Kurt." His sponsor in Minneapolis, the late Harry Glickman, got Pollak a job, but World War II was in full throat and he decided to join the Army.

After serving as a supply sergeant in the Philippines and becoming a U.S. citizen, he returned to Minneapolis, where he was reunited with his only sibling, a younger sister named Bertha.
