On 27 August 2014, the Federal Cabinet decided that from 2015, the "Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Flight and Expulsion" will be celebrated annually on 20 June. On this day, the worldwide victims of flight and expulsion and in particular the German expellees will be commemorated in future. This makes it clear that the will and strength for reconciliation and a new beginning, the joint reconstruction and cohesion in society form the foundation on which Germany today offers a home to people from 190 nations.
