International Students' Day

The University of Prague's Nazi storming on November 17th is commemorated on International Students Day, November 17th. Around the world, the day also supports student activism.

Through the years, university students haven't shied away from expressing their political views, and in several cases, students have expressed themselves politically in the form of protests. 1939 was one of the first student protests held in 1939. Students at the University of Prague protested against the German occupation of Czechoslovakia this year. During the march, a student of the medical faculty was shot, injured, and later died. Thousands of students turned his funeral into an anti-Nazi protest.

The Nazis rounded them up and sent over 1,200 students to concentration camps. The Nazis also ordered the closings of all the universities and colleges in Czechoslovakia. The most hideous crime occurred on November 17th, 1939, when the Nazis executed nine students and professors without trial.

The Central Association of Czechoslovak Students (USCS), a student association of Nazi Germany, was reestablished in London on November 17th, 1940, after Nazi Germany had forced the group to disband. Members of the USCS attempted to persuade other students around the world to mark November 17th as a day of remembrance. They held a meeting on November 16th, 1941, to celebrate November 17th as International Students' Day. Students in 1989 helped spark the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia on the 50th anniversary of International Students' Day..
