Grace Under Pressure is the tenth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1984 (see 1984 in music). Much of the album explores the concept of "grace under pressure". The third track, "Red Sector A", is particularly notable for its allusions to the Holocaust, inspired by Geddy Lee's memories of his mother's stories about the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, where she was held prisoner.
