The Auschwitz Cross (Polish: Krzyż Oświęcimski), instituted on 14 March 1985, was a Polish decoration awarded to honour survivors of Nazi German concentration camps, including Auschwitz[1] (Auschwitz is a German name for the Polish town Oświęcim, where the camps were built by Nazi Germans).

An exception was made in the case of Greta Ferušić, who was awarded it in February 2004.

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 / WIĘŹNIOM / HITLEROWSKICH / OBOZÓW KONCENTRACYJNYCH" (People's Republic of Poland to prisoners of Nazi concentration camps).
