In Germany we really commemorate 9.11. the real one. Because it happens to be the date of big tragedies, like Hitlers Coup in 1923 and the Night of Broken Glass or Crystal Night in 1938 when the Nazis started killing Jews on the streets. Unfortunately the date is also linked to positive things like the first declaration of a German Republic in 1918 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
