Student Jan Opletal
31 December 1914 – 11 November 1939
International Students' Day held annually on 17 November commemorates the Czech universities which were stormed by Nazi German Gestapo in 1939 and the students who were subsequently killed and sent to concentration camps.
Resistance was originally started on 28 October during demonstration for independence by the shooting of Jan Opletal, Czech medicine student of Charles University in Prague, who was killed by the German Police. Commemoration of the represion also started demonstration in 1989.

Let us rejoyce
While we are still young.
After a pleasant youth
After a troubling old age
The earth will have us.

Where are they who, before us,
Were in the world?
Go to the heavens
Cross over into hell
Where they went through already.

Long live the academy!
Long live the professors!
Long live each student;
Long live the whole fraternity;
For ever may they flourish!

This song is truly a signature in my life. I was born in my local University, where my father is a Full Professor and where I work myself as a Research accountant and communication administrative supporter.
I am the 2nd founding member, former Vicepresident and political advisor of our local Student Fraternity (Goliardi). During Law School I was a student representative and after getting my JD I started studying for my 2nd Master Degree, in Political Sciences. With this background I can surely tell that University is my life. May it flourish again.

Gaudeamus, fratres!

Jsem rád že Jan Opletal byl rodák z Lhoty nad Moravou 😎

Nejsem sice věřící, ale škoda že se dnes vypouští ta část, kde jsou ti co byli na světě před námi
