[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 4173475, member: 48469"] I guess you could contact the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for clarification if their numbers look off to you. I'm certainly no expert on the topic. Sources cited on Wikipedia say up to 1,200 of them died. Maybe we just call it 1,500. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses#Demographics']Jehovah's Witnesses - Wikipedia[/URL] "In 1933, there were approximately 20,000 Jehovah's Witnesses in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany']Nazi Germany[/URL],[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses#cite_note-323'][319][/URL] of whom about 10,000 were imprisoned.
