American Rescuers of the Holocaust Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2026

This bill would award one Congressional Gold Medal, on behalf of Congress, to honor Americans who rescued and aided Jews and other refugees in Europe from 1933 to 1945 during the Holocaust. The Treasury Secretary would design and strike the medal. After it is awarded, the medal would go to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for display and research, and Congress states the Museum should lend it for display at other locations. The Treasury could also make and sell bronze copies at a price that covers their cost, with medal costs paid from and sale proceeds returned to the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
