	Jan Opletal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jan Opletal (January 1, 1915–November 11, 1939) was a student of the Medical Faculty of the Charles University in Prague, who was killed in an anti-Nazi demonstration during the German occupation.
		Jan Opletal was seriously wounded, and died later on November 11.
		His funeral on November 15, attended by several thousands of students, turned into another anti-Nazi demonstration; as a result, the Reichsprotektor (nazi-representative in the puppet-state Böhmen und Mähren) Konstantin von Neurath closed all Czech universities and colleges, over 1200 students were sent to concentration camps, and nine students were executed on November 17.

	Palach memorial pages
		This week, Czechs mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Jan Palach, a student of Prague`s Charles University, who burnt himself to death on January 16, 1969, in protest against the Soviet invasion and the cowardice of the communist authorities and the government, who legalised the invasion with all its implications.
		Jan Hus was burnt at the stake as a heretic, in 1415.
		On the 16th of January, the day when he set himself on fire, the whole of Venceslas square was practically closed off and patrolled by the police, to prevent people from paying their respects to Palach`s memory...it`s difficult to picture the situation now...

	The significance of Jan Hus for Czech history
		As Jan Patočka wrote at the founding of Charta 77, there are things in the world worth suffering for, and Czech heroes through the ages have been willing to suffer for them.
		His son Jan is considered by many to be a martyr: whether murdered by the Communists or driven by them to suicide, in one way or another the worldly circumstances became unlivable for him.
		Even Svatý Jan Nepomucký, whose story was a myth invented to replace Hus as a popular spiritual hero by the Counter-Reformation, was a martyr is the specific Hus or Havel sense of insistence on the ultimate impossibility of the government of the tongue by earthly power.

		Hussitism began during the long reign of Wenceslas IV (1378-1419), a period of papal schism and concomitant anarchy in the Holy Roman Empire, and was precipitated by a controversy at Charles University.
