The memorial plaque for Czech and Slovak resistance fighters was installed on the façade of the building at Leibnizgasse 10 on 7 May 1955. The plaque lists 69 resistance fighters and victims of the National Socialist regime from the Czech and Slovak minority in Vienna. The plaque was installed at the Komenský School.

In 1994, the plaque was replaced by a new version, but the content remained the same. The old plaque was made of white stone, consisted of an inscription in Czechoslovak and German, and listed the 69 names in three columns. In the upper part of the plaque, there were two crossed flags as well as the red corner of the concentration camp organization with the number "369". The old plaque can be viewed at the Favoriten District Museum.

The new plaque is made of black stone, has the same inscription, but lists the names in two columns. In the upper part of the plaque, there are again two crossed flags (flag of Czechoslovakia or Czech Republic and Austrian flag) as well as the red corner of the concentration camp organization with the number "369". In 2010, another name was added to the list of 69 - Zimmel Bedrich (actually: Bedřich).
