Two hands clutching a rescue line spun from barbed wire strands.The barbed wire lines emerge from empty space but the rescue line enfolds the globe and serves as a handle by which to rotate it (a symbolic expression of the idea that it's deeds such as performed by the rescuers that make the world go around). The globe is surrounded by the inscription in Hebrew 'whoever saves one life, it is as if he saved an entire universe'. Rev. image of the Hall of Remembrance at Yad Vashem. In the center the inscription in Hebrew: 'A token of gratitude from the Jewish people'. At the bottom: inscription in French: 'The grateful Jewish people' and the French translation of 'whoever saves one life, it is as if he saved an entire universe'.CuNi 60 mm. With inscription. Documentation about this medal is added. Nearly mint
