Anne Frank

Official Award Medal, 5748-1988

She was a young girl with gentle, sad, dark eyes.

Her secret thoughts while in hiding would one day pierce the conscience of the world.

She was still a child when the Nazis rose to power in Germany and her family fled to Holland.

In 1941 after the Nazis conquered Holland, the Frank family and four other Jews found refuge in a secret back room in an office building.

Christian friends smuggled them food and supplies. Thus, they spent two years in a narrow and dark refuge.

There, Anne wrote her famous diary, the diary of a young girl of rare sensitivity, who describes life in the shadow of death and expresses the mental anguish and humiliation she experienced.

In 1944 the Germans found the hiding place.

Anne perished in 1945 in Bergen-Belsen.

Obverse: Anne Frank's face emerges from behind a half open door, symbolizing the Jewish people's emergence from hiding at the end of the Holocaust. Her name appears at the right in Hebrew above a menorah and at the lower left in English, "ANNE FRANK". The artist's signature is at the bottom

Reverse: An extended hand and a barbed-wire fence with a Star of David bearing the inscription 'Jood" (Jew in Dutch). Above, the word "remember" in Hebrew and below, the dates "1933" and "1945". On the right, the word "REMEMBER" and on the left, the word "HOLOCAUST".

Edge: IGCMC emblem and initials "I.G.C.M.C." in Hebrew on the right and in English on the left, with serial numb'er.

This specific medal has the serial number of 0826.

This item comes from a smoke-free, dog-loving home. We have a beautiful dog, who loves to spread her hair on everything.  Although I do my best to clean everything that I ship out, encountering some of her lovely hair is a possibility.

I love to recycle, so there's a good chance that I will ship in a previously used envelope or box, and use paper and used grocery bags as packing and padding materials.

All of my store items have a MAKE AN OFFER option. If you make a stupid offer, I might counter with a stupid offer of my own. An offer for a few dollars less is reasonable.  An offer for half of the listed price is not.
