All interested parties are invited to commemorate them individually in these places during the day. It is important to maintain the memory of the victims of the war and tyranny and to actively work against any form of extremism and oppression.

It is of great importance not to forget the events of the Second World War and the horrors of National Socialism and to learn from history. Especially at a time when authoritarian tendencies and right -wing extremist ideologies are increasing again, it is important to work together for an open and democratic society.

In the following table, further information on the memorial events on May 8, 2024 in Pankow is summarized:

| Time | Venue | Activity |

| 11:45 a.m. | Memorsteine ​​Ostseeplatz / Rondell in Prenzlauer Berg | Wreath laying |
| 1:00 p.m. | Soviet cenotaph in the Schönholzer Heide | Still commemoration |

It is hoped that these memorial events will help to raise awareness of the atrocities of the past and to emphasize the importance of tolerance, humanity and culture of remembrance.
