Physical violence has become a key topic of the historiography of the multiethnic societies in Central Europe in the transition from the imperial to the nation-state order since at least the past two decades. Scholars have pointed out that violence is an inherent part of the conflict in interethnic and interreligious relationships, although violence was not always first marked by ethnic conflicts, but rather social ones, as the example of the food riots in Cisleithania during WW I has shown. Despite these achievements of the historiography on collective violence in modern Central Europe, it seems that different research milieus still remain separate from one another. For this reason, the conference of the Centre for Jewish studies in Prague in cooperation with the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences aims to bring together scholars working on collective violence in Central Europe, including anti-Jewish violence, and violence against Roma and other minorities.
