兒童節的來歷（中英版）

六一兒童節的由來

國際兒童節的設立，和發生在二戰期間一次著名的屠殺--利迪策慘案有關。1942年6月12日，德國法西斯槍殺了捷克利迪策村16歲以上的男性公民140餘人和全部嬰兒，並把婦女和90名兒童押往集中營。村裡的房舍、建築物均被燒燬，好端端的一個村莊就這樣被德國法西斯給毀了。第二次世界大戰結束後，世界各地經濟蕭條，成千上萬的工人失業，過著飢寒交迫的生活。兒童的處境更糟，有的得了傳染病，一批批地死去;有的則被迫當童工，受盡折磨，生活和生命得不到保障。為了悼念利迪策慘案和全世界所有在戰爭中死難的兒童，反對虐殺和毒害兒童，以及保障兒童權利，1949年11月，國際民主婦女聯合會在莫斯科舉行理事會議，各國代表憤怒地揭露了帝國主義分子和各國反動派殘殺、毒害兒童的罪行。為了保障世界各國兒童的生存權、保健權 和受教育權，為了改善兒童的生活，會議決定以每年的6月1日為國際兒童節。當時的很多國家表示贊同，特別是社會主義國家。

世界上許多國家都將6月1日定為兒童的節日，尤其是在社會主義國家。在歐美國家，兒童節的日期各不相同，而且往往很少舉行社會公眾性的慶祝活動。因此有人誤解為只有社會主義國家才將6月1日定為國際兒童節。

為了保障全世界兒童的權益，1949年11月，國際民主婦女聯合會在莫斯科召開執委會決定，將每年6月1日作為國際兒童節。新中國成立後，中央人民政府政務院於1949年12月23日規定，將中國的兒童節與國際兒童節統一起來。
