| About Struggle for Freedom (Democracy Day) |
| Czech students gathered on November 17, 1989 to commemorate a protest held on the same day fifty years earlier in opposition to Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. The student demonstration rapidly turned into a protest against the oppressive communist regime, and it marked the beginning of the so-called Velvet Revolution. Sometimes referred to as World Students Day, this holiday celebrates the political role of students. November 17th was a state holiday in the Czech Republic, a day commemorating the struggle of students for freedom and democracy. |
