The obverse has the word “GETTO” in the center with barbed wire fencing on top and flames climbing to the top of the medal.  In the lower right corner are a series of armed Jewish fighters (including an ethereal looking woman with flowing hair holding a rifle) surging forward.  Above the fighters is “WARSZAWA 1943” (Warsaw 1943).  The artist’s initials, “AW”, are located to the right of the Jewish fighters.
