Domestic violence in the 20th century in European countries is a complex and ambiguous phenomenon. The boundaries between different behaviors, from those that were accepted and commonly practiced, through violence shamefully hidden at home, to acts that were universally condemned, all evolved, although the tempo and direction of change were different. The social assessment of acts of domestic violence depended on state policy on the one hand, and on the other hand on historical actors, both victims and perpetrators – their class origin, gender, age, and social milieu. What remained out of the public eye—in the realm of taboo—was, for example, violence among the social elites, because violence perceived as a pathology was associated with groups requiring rehabilitation. 
Maren Röger and Barbara Klich-Kluczewska will talk about the different faces of domestic violence, local particularities, the role of the state, and the significance of bottom-up initiatives.
