American Rescuers of the Holocaust Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2026

This provision directs the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House to arrange for the collective award of a single Congressional Gold Medal. The medal is to commemorate United States citizens who actively participated in rescuing and aiding Jews and other refugees during the Holocaust, acknowledging their role in saving tens of thousands of lives from Nazi Germany's 'Final Solution' policy between 1933 and 1945.

After its award, the Congressional Gold Medal will be formally transferred to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. There, it will be made available for public display and scholarly research, adhering to the Museum's established policies concerning the care and exhibition of its materials. Furthermore, Congress expresses its expectation that the Museum should consider making the gold medal accessible for temporary display at other relevant locations, such as institutions dedicated to Holocaust commemoration, in accordance with its lending policies, thereby broadening its educational reach.

This provision authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to strike and subsequently sell bronze duplicates of the gold medal. The pricing for these duplicates is set to be sufficient to cover all associated costs, including labor, materials, dies, machinery use, and overhead expenses. Additionally, the bill specifies that the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund is authorized to cover the initial costs of striking the original gold medal, and any proceeds generated from the sale of the bronze duplicates will be deposited back into this same fund.
