The book, subtitled The Destruction of a Family 1842–1942, tells the history and fate of the Klaar family, who were proudly Austrian and also happened to be Jewish.

The author changed his name while serving as a volunteer in the British Army in World War II, first in the Pioneer Corps and later the Royal Artillery, and chose George Clare, as an anglicised version of his original name, Georg Klaar. The book was translated into six languages and was the subject of a BBC Television documentary. (en)
