The list on top demonstrates the writers and entertainers that where blacklisted. Because they where thought to be communists, many of them where left without jobs. The lower list demonstrates the people that where either killed believed to be witches or some what tied up in witchcraft. As one can see the 2 lists have a large number of names. And the list is even larger for those people that where tied close together with the accused or executed.
