The center displays "Heldengedenk Feier" (Heroes memorial ceremony) with the date "18.VI. 1933" beneath. The BJF's emblem, two crossed swords over a wreath with "BJF" at the center, is below.

This was done through various means including military-style organization, the journal "Jewish Front", and erecting war memorials. The BJF aimed to create a unified Austrian Jewish identity, defending the honor and rights of Jewish individuals who had served in the military during a time of increasing societal and political prejudice. This badge from the BJF signifies the valor, service, and communal identity upheld by this organization during a tumultuous period in histor
