As early as 1933, exiled writers and intellectuals from Nazi Germany began to write their autobiographies, memoirs and other autobiographical texts, signaling a new and prolific period of this genre. This study examines their self-representations and self-definitions which extend from the presentation of the self as religious convert and political crusader, as hero and martyr, and as victim and the Other . The texts not only reflect the renewal of traditional autobiographical narrative, but they also present innovations to the genre of autobiography.
