Silver cigarette box. On the lid is a delicate engraving of the "Ghetto Heroes Remembrance Memorial" to the right and left of a memorial candle in the shape of a symbol of the State of Israel and Menorah. The monument Created by artist Nathan Rappaport, born in Warsaw, in memory of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. The monument which is located in the center of the old Jewish ghetto in the city of Warsaw, was inaugurated on April 19, 1948, the fifth anniversary of the outbreak of the uprising.

A copy of the monument is on the Yad Vashem Square in Jerusalem with minor changes, and is one of the familiar symbols of the Holocaust heritage. The engraving before us is the same as the original one in Warsaw.

Size: 11x8 cm. Weight: 140 g. Good condition.
