The Day of remembrance for the victims of flight and expulsion (Gedenktag für die Opfer von Flucht und Vertreibung) is a day of remembrance that takes place in Germany every year from 2015 on June 20 at the same time as World Refugee Day. On that day, the "worldwide victims of flight and expulsion and in particular the German expellees" are commemorated.
The day of remembrance was introduced by the federal government's decision of August 27, 2014. Since 2014, the Hessian and Bavarian memorial days for the victims of flight, expulsion and deportation and the Saxon memorial day for the victims of flight, expulsion and forced resettlement have been celebrated on the second Sunday in September.
