Watchtower Victims Memorial

The Watchtower Victims Memorial is dedicated to the memory of Jehovah's Witnesses and their minor children who died as a result of the Brooklyn-based Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's decrees banning blood transfusions, organ transplants, skin grafts, and vaccinations -- as well as other individuals whose deaths due to suicide, abandonment, etc., are attributable to the Watchtower Society in the view of surviving loved ones.
