This bill would award one Congressional Gold Medal, as a group honor, to people of the United States who helped rescue and aid Jews and other refugees in Europe from 1933 to 1945 during the Holocaust. The Secretary of the Treasury 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 the bill states Congress's view that the Museum should lend it for display at other locations. The Treasury could also make and sell bronze copies, with costs paid from and sales money returned to the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
