Křtin. Since 1941, the events of 17 November 1939 are commemorated as International Students Day by the International Union of Students and other groups. A Jan Opletal Prize is awarded each year by the European Students' Union on this occasion. In 1989, and again in 2015, commemorative stamps were issued in memory of Jan Opletal. In August 2014, an exhibition in Prague recalled Jan Opletal and the closure of the Czech universities.
