The custom of children's day

The origin of children's day

In fact, Children's Day is not a holiday decided out of thin air. There is a real history behind Children's Day. During World War II, German fascists launched a brutal massacre. They imprisoned women and children and burned many houses and buildings. The world economy is depressed, and everyone is living a life of hunger and cold. Many children died of infectious diseases, and some were forced to work as child laborers, suffering all kinds of torture, and their lives were not guaranteed. After the end of World War II, in order to mourn the children who died in the war, oppose child abuse, guarantee children's rights to survival, medical care and education in all countries, and improve children's lives, the International Democratic Union 1949 meeting decided to designate June 1 day as International Children's Day every year.
