WW2 "Auschwitz Cross" or "Holocaust Survivors" Polish medal

The Auschwitz Cross was instituted on 14 March 1985, a Polish decoration awarded to honor survivors of the Holocaust and German concentration camps, including Auschwitz. The order was generally awarded to Poles, but it was possible to award it to foreigners in special cases and posthumously. It ceased to be awarded in 1999. The award is a silver Greek cross, 42 x 42 mm. The obverse shows barbed wire and fence posts; embossed with the year 1939 on the left, and 1945 on the right arm. A large red triangle with the letter P, the badge worn by Polish prisoners, is in the center. The reverse is embossed 'PRL [People's Republic of Poland] Wiezniom / Hitlerowskich / Obozow koncentracyjnych' [Prisoners of Hitler's concentration camps].' The decoration is suspended by an alternating light and dark blue striped ribbon, evoking the striped camp uniforms.
