On the morning of March 19, Ernst Thälmann High School (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) celebrated its 75th anniversary (March 19, 1950 - March 19, 2025).
At the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc, Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, praised and commended the efforts and striving of all staff, teachers and students of Ernst Thälmann High School in the past time.
The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee emphasized that Ernst Thälmann School is not only one of the city's oldest educational institutions, but also a place of profound historical significance.
Ho Chi Minh City leaders recalled that exactly 75 years ago, on March 19, 1950, at this very school, the late lawyer Nguyen Huu Tho read a historic speech, strongly condemning the crimes of French colonialism, and at the same time calling for solidarity among intellectuals, students, and people of Saigon - Cho Lon in the struggle for national independence.
The speech was not only a call to arms from a patriotic intellectual but also demonstrated the indomitable will of the Vietnamese youth generation during the period of struggle against colonialism and imperialism.
The protest was successful, forcing the US to cancel naval exercises and two US warships to withdraw that night, marking a turning point in the anti-American struggle of the people of the South.

From this event, the student movement spread throughout the South, marking an important turning point in the movement against US intervention in Vietnam.
Because of its great historical significance, March 19 was later called "National Anti-American Day", symbolizing the indomitable spirit of our people in the resistance war against imperialist invaders.
Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc assessed that over the past time, Ernst Thälmann School has continuously innovated, improved the quality of education, trained many generations of excellent students, and actively contributed to the development of the city and the country.
The head of the Ho Chi Minh City government said: "In the context of increasingly deep international integration, the task is not only to learn knowledge but also to cultivate moral qualities, sense of responsibility to society, continuing the patriotism of our ancestors to develop the country more and more. I hope that students will constantly strive, improve their knowledge, train their mettle and aspiration to rise up to be worthy of the heroic tradition of the school. Thereby being worthy of the precious tradition of the nation and people".
