American Rescuers of the Holocaust Congressional Gold Medal Act...
To award a Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to Americans who were active in rescuing and aiding Jews and other refugees during the period of Nazi Germany's genocidal "Final Solution" policy to murder every Jew in Europe, in recognition of their contributions, which resulted in tens of thousands of Jews and others being spared from almost certain death.
This bill, HB9400, seeks to honor Americans who bravely helped rescue Jews and other refugees during the Holocaust by awarding them a Congressional Gold Medal. This medal is one of the highest civilian honors in the United States and is meant to recognize their significant contributions, which saved tens of thousands of lives from Nazi persecution.
The Congressional Gold Medal would be awarded collectively to these rescuers, highlighting their courage and humanitarian efforts during one of history’s darkest periods. The recognition aims to ensure their bravery and the lives they saved are remembered and honored.
As of June 23, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process, where it will be reviewed and potentially debated before any further action is taken.
