Sponsored By: Senator Hagerty, Bill [R-TN]

Became Law

Summary

A single Congressional Gold Medal honoring sixty diplomats recognizes those who risked careers and lives to rescue Jews during the Holocaust. The law names the honorees and sets how the medal will be made, awarded, and displayed.

Show full summary
  • Families: Eldest next of kin of each of the sixty diplomats will receive the medal as part of a delegation that includes a senior official from the country the diplomat served and the cochairs of the Forgotten Heroes of the Holocaust Committee.
  • Museums and remembrance sites: The gold medal will be given to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for display and research, and the museum is encouraged to make it available for display at other Holocaust remembrance locations.
  • Mint and funding rules: The Secretary of the Treasury will design and strike the medal, may sell bronze duplicates at prices that cover costs, and may charge the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund for striking costs with duplicate-sale proceeds returned to that fund. The medal is designated a national and numismatic item under federal law.
