== In memory == [[Valdas Adamkus]], then President of Lithuania, stated that an exhibition will be opened in [[Bad Iburg]] which will be named "The Lost History of East Prussia: Wolf Children and Their Fate". Five kilometers north of [[Tilsit]] on the crossroad of A 216 Tauroggen-Tilsit with A 226 from Heydekrug there is a memorial for Wolf children ("Wolfskinder-Denkmal"). The goal of the memorial is to publicize the fate of all human beings who were killed or died from starvation in East Prussia in the years 1944-1947, and to remember the orphan children left behind.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.reise-nach-ostpreussen.de/Wolfskinder/wokinder-bd.htm|title=Wolfskinder - Reise nach Ostpreussen|website=www.reise-nach-ostpreussen.de|accessdate=15 May 2018|archive-date=18 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120218134945/http://www.reise-nach-ostpreussen.de/Wolfskinder/wokinder-bd.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> Another memorial, the House of Wolf children, will be created with a permanent exhibition to remember Wolf children in Mikytai/Mikieten at the crossroad Sovetsk/Tilsit.

The leader of the parliamentary group within [[CDU/CSU]] for expelled, relocated and German minorities, [[Klaus Brähmig]], believes that research on Wolf children should be intensified: {{blockquote|text=The president gives an important sign of solidarity by meeting Wolf children, whose fate is not well known in Germany. It is encouraging that politics and the media report more and more on these orphans, of whom many up to now are not aware of their German descent. The union goes on requiring, that scientific research ought to be intensified and matters of Wolf children dealt within the Bundesvertriebenenstiftung.<ref>citation translated from {{in lang|de}} [http://www.cducsu.de/Titel__forschung_zu_wolfskindern_muss_intensiviert_werden/TabID__6/SubTabID__7/InhaltTypID__1/InhaltID__18706/Inhalte.aspx Research on Wolf children ought to be intensified] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220518044020/https://www.cducsu.de/Titel__forschung_zu_wolfskindern_muss_intensiviert_werden/TabID__6/SubTabID__7/InhaltTypID__1/InhaltID__18706/Inhalte.aspx |date=2022-05-18 }}</ref>}}
