Comments

A glorious chapter of heroism was written in the history of the Jewish people by the World War II fighters, men and women who fought the Nazis and their cohorts in the ghettos and sewers, in the marshes and forests and inside the death camps of Europe. In 1983, the year of Jewish Heroism, the men and women who fought for human survival and national dignity four decades ago and survived, met in the reborn Jewish State to commemorate, share and celebrate, and reaffirm the vow of "Never again".
 

Serialization: The Coppernickel medal is numbered 5435, 164 have been melted.
