" Il reste en moi un sentiment profond de culpabilité pour avoir survécu, pour avoir échappé au massacre, pour n'avoir pas partagé le destin de mes parents - et de tout mon peuple... Aussi voudrais-je reprendre ici l'histoire des Klaar, l'histoire de l'Autriche et de l'Europe centrale, l'histoire de ce monde à jamais disparu. " Le 26 février 1938, le jeune Georg Klaar, âgé de dix-sept ans, assiste à son premier bal au Konzerthaus de Vienne. Quinze jours plus tard, Hitler annexe l'Autriche. Soudain la famille Klaar n'est plus viennoise : elle est juive. Son seul survivant, devenu citoyen britannique sous le nom de George Clare, lui a rendu hommage dans cette saga tendre et pudique.
