In 2015, Kateřina Tučková participated in the organization of the Year of Reconciliation, during which the city of Brno, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, for the first time officially apologized for the inhumane expulsion of German speaking population from Brno. During this expulsion in 1945 many women, children and old people died. This initiative, which was inspired besides other things, by her novel The Expulsion of Gerta Schnirch (Host, Brno 2009), also praised the German President Joachim Gauck in his speech on the Day of deportees.
