A group of two variations of Polish Auschwitz crosses were awarded to victims of Nazi concentration camps and ghettos, awarded generally to Poles. The award was instituted on 14 March 1985 and ceased to be awarded in 1999. The decoration is a silver Greek cross on a blue and white striped ribbon. The obverse shows barbed wire and camp poles, the year 1939 on the left, and 1945 on the right arm. In the center there is a red enameled triangle with the letter P, as worn by Polish nationals imprisoned in the camps. The reverse bears the inscription PRL Wiezniom Hitlerowskich Obozov Koncentracyjnych, Peoples Republic of Poland to prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. The second award has the inscription RP instead of PRL, meaning it was issued after the fall of the Communist regime in Poland.
