| Reverse description | Central to the design is a concentration camp prisoner's striped uniform bearing the yellow Star of David, a powerful symbol of the persecution suffered by Jews during the Holocaust. A larger Star of David is rendered in the background field, evoking the enduring spirit expressed by the phrase 'The People of Israel Lives On.' The design was created to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Yad Vashem, Israel's official Holocaust memorial and museum. Multilingual inscriptions in Hebrew, Latin, and Arabic appear in the field referencing Yad Vashem and its six decades of operation. The overall composition is somber and restrained, rendered in a style befitting the gravity of Holocaust remembrance. |
