- -- Surname

- -- Place of Imprisonment
- -- Notes
- The "Notes" field very often contains one of these two entries:

- Other "Notes" may include:
- -- condannato a morte - condemned to death
- -- razza ebrea - hebrew race
Language and Other Notes:
A 147-name register derived from this data of Jehovah's Witnesses with death information given was apparently generated and printed on March 18, 2000 as part of a special Yom HaShoah [= Day of Remembrance] name reading ceremony packet. Although a copy of this 147-name register's cover sheet is found in USHMM Computer Network folder S:\DATA\REGLISTS\AB0011\, no copy of the register itself is there.

Resource Center Cataloging Notes:
- Mr. Pierro donated many materials concerning Jehovah's Witnesses to the USHMM Archives, which passed this database along to the Survivors Registry. The original data files could not be deciphered as recieved, so Mr. Pierro was kind enough to send additional copies in .txt and .dbf formats in May 1996. These data files are available to authorized U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum staff only in the USHMM Computer Network folder S:\DATA\REGLISTS\AB0011\.
