What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "American Rescuers of the Holocaust Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2026," proposes a collective Congressional Gold Medal. The award recognizes Americans who actively rescued and aided Jews and other refugees during Nazi Germany's "Final Solution" between 1933 and 1945. These contributions helped spare tens of thousands of people from death. The Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate will arrange the award of a single gold medal. This medal is to be given to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for display and research.
