The memorial plaque commemorating Jószef Antall was installed in the entryway to the József Eötvös Gymnasium in March 1994. It was initiated by former pupils of Antall, whom he had instructed at the school during the Revolution. Jószef Antall was born on April 8, 1932 in Budapest. He studied Political Science at the Humanities Department of the Lorand Eötvös University in Budapest. As the Revolution erupted in October 1956, Antall was the Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee at the Eötvös Gymnasium. After the Revolution had been defeated, he was divested of his position and forbidden to exercise his profession or to write. The repressive measures against Antall were first lifted in the wake of the amnesty in 1963. During the following decades, he remained active at the Semmelweiss Museum for Medical History - first as an archivist, and later, as its director. Towards the end of the 1980's, Antall was involved with the conservative Democratic Forum, and participated in the restorative process in Hungary in an influential position. Antall achieved especial popularity through his participation in the National Round Table discussions. As late as 1989, he was elected chairman of the Democratic Forum. One year later, he was elected Minister President of Hungary and remained in this position until his death on December 12, 1993.
