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 Obozow Koncentracyjnych, Peoples Republic of Poland to prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. One of the awards has inscription PR instead of PRL, meaning it was issued after the fall of the Communist regime in Poland.
