Students in Holguin remember their International Day (+Fotos)

More than 140 thousand students in Holguin celebrate today their International Day as active entities in the transformations of Cuban society.

The International Students’ Day is celebrated annually every November 17 all over the world. It commemorates the Czech universities that were raided by the Nazis in 1939, and the students who were subsequently murdered and sent to concentration camps.

Different generations throughout history evoke this date as a symbol of opposition to fascist ideology and commitment to fight for the rights and aspirations of the universal student body.
