The Israeli Medal of Resistance

[azyeoman]

The Israeli Medal of Resistance was designed by Kenneth Treister. It is a bronze medal in the shape of a menorah, and depicts three Jewish partisans in a forest near Lublin in occupied Poland. The red stone beneath the Star of David symbolizes the Jewish blood shed while fighting the Germans. The blue and white represent the Jewish national colors. The Miles Lerman Center for the Study of Jewish Resistance annually honors outstanding examples of heroism with the Medal of Resistance.

The medal shown can be viewed in the US Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.

That's a good question. I don't know. If anyone knows, please respond. Thanks in advance.

If I am reading correctly, it is one from the The United States Holocaust Museum.
