"28 489 refers to the number of days in the period from 8 May 1945 to 8 May 2023, i.e. the block of time that we were able to experience in peace. This should make us aware that a life in freedom and security cannot be taken for granted. The date 8 May 1945 is significant in two respects: 1. the beginning of peace and 2. the liberation from the National Socialists' reign of terror." (Gerhard Kaiser)
