abstract
This study focuses on the position of Protectorate administration and the German occupying power with respect of students detained in connection with Nazi actions aimed against Czech academic education on 17th November 1939. The introduction presents the causes, the events of the fateful day, and their immediate consequences. This is followed by information about the dates and manners in which students were detained and places where they were held. The author describes living conditions in internment camps, especially the Sachsenhausen-Oranienburg concentration camp where most of the detained students had ended up. The main part of the study focuses on various forms of intercession in favour of the detained students, both those undertaken by parents who were trying to secure the release of their sons, and by the coordination department of the presidium of the ministerial council and the Protectorate president Emil Hácha.
