The 17th of November is a day of dual remembrance: the brutal police crackdown on students at Albertov that ignited the Velvet Revolution in 1989, and the tragic events of autumn 1939, when the Nazis shut down Czech universities and deported over 1,200 students from their dormitories to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Representatives of Czech universities traditionally commemorated the memory of those who fought for freedom and democracy on 17 November, underscoring the importance of academia as a space for the free exchange of ideas and critical thinking.
