Description |
- This day is an international observance of student
community, held annually on November 17.
- Originally it was conceived for commemorating the
Nazi German storming of Czech universities in 1939 and the
subsequent killing and sending of students to concentration
camps and executing nine students on this day without trial.
- A number of universities now mark it, sometimes on a day
other than November 17, for a nonpolitical celebration of
the multiculturalism of their international students.
