 Last
Waltz in Vienna by George Clare George Clare was born in 1920 into a well to do bourgeois family as 'Austrians of the Jewish faith' enjoying life in the tolerant world of the Hapsburg empire. First published in 1981, Clare's book has withstood the test of time. He gives a compelling first hand account of the erosion of his family's fortunes as Vienna begins its slide into barbarism starting with the disaster of World War 1 followed by a period of exploitation of the populist anti-Semitic propaganda culminating in the Viennese adulation of Adolf Hitler in March 1938 and the ensuing Nazi brutality towards the Jewish population.
