Key Points

This bill would award a single Congressional Gold Medal to honor all Americans who worked to save Jews and other refugees from Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945.
The award recognizes the efforts of hundreds of citizens and groups like the War Refugee Board, which is credited with saving at least 220,000 lives during the war.
After the medal is made, it will be given to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., where it can be displayed for the public or used for research.
The government would also be allowed to sell bronze copies of the medal to the public to help pay for the costs of creating the original gold award.
