On the face of the medal the “Adas Israel” synagogue in Nuremburg, the city in which the Nazi leaders were later tried, which was burned to the ground on Crystal Night. The flames rising from the synagogue do not harm the Star of David on its roof – symbol of the eternal survival of the Jewish people.

On the obverse appears the true numbers of those murdered and of synagogues destroyed, much greater than the numbers which appear in the literature. At the bottom appear the words uttered by the martyrs, “Shema Yisrael” and at the top a Talmudic phrase, “In the future Synagogues of the Diaspora will arise anew in Jerusalem`.
