    Abstract
    How did the lives of those who were persecuted change under Nazi rule? In 1939, an unusual Harvard University prize competition posed this question and collected over 180 essays from emigrants from Nazi Germany as well as Austria. To this day, the corpus of material remains largely unexplored. Detlef Garz is the first to dedicate himself comprehensively to the prize competition, focusing on the life stories of the participants: experiences of life before 1933, suffering, resistance, the emigration that took place between 1933 and 1939, and the arrival and 're-establishment' in the country of emigration. He thus establishes a foundation, both for the exploration of the autobiographical documents and for the understanding of some (exemplary) life courses as well as the concept of (moral) disavowal.
     
    Wie veränderten sich unter der Nazi-Herrschaft Leben und Alltag derer, die verfolgt wurden? Ein außergewöhnliches wissenschaftliches Preisausschreiben der Harvard Universität stellt im Jahr 1939 diese Frage und sammelt über 180, zum Teil umfangreiche autobiographische Manuskripte von Emigrantinnen und Emigranten aus dem nationalsozialistischen Deutschland sowie aus Österreich. Der Korpus ist bis heute weitgehend unerschlossen. Detlef Garz widmet sich in umfassender Weise dem Preisausschreiben und rückt die Lebensgeschichten der Teilnehmenden in den Mittelpunkt: ausführliche Erfahrungen des Lebens vor 1933, das (Er-)Leiden, der Widerstand, die erfolgte Emigration zwischen 1933 und 1939 sowie die Ankunft und Neueinrichtung in den aufnehmenden Ländern. Er errichtet damit ein Fundament, sowohl zur Erschließung der autobiographischen Materialien als auch zum Verständnis exemplarischer Lebensverläufe sowie des Konzepts der (moralischen) Aberkennung.
