Forgotten Heroes of the Holocaust Congressional Gold Medal Act

Would have awarded a single Congressional Gold Medal to 60 diplomats who saved Jews during World War II.

Tradeoff

Would have honored 60 diplomats posthumously with one gold medal. Would have let the Mint sell bronze duplicates, with sales covering costs.
