While reconciliation has at its foundation the honest acknowledgement and respectful remembering of the past, its true promise lies in continuing to work together to build a future grounded in compassion and mutual understanding.

We wish to bring you together with a group of survivors and descendants of affected individuals who are coming to Berlin on the second anniversary of the reform; the motto of their journey to Germany is to be "reconciliation".

The concert is to celebrate the passing of the fourth amendment to the Citizenship Act which has created a new legal entitlement to renaturalisation for people who lost or were denied their German citizenship due to persecution. It is being held exactly one year after the amendment was passed, is a celebration of hope and unity and an opportunity to thank all those involved in this significant and symbolic change to the law.
