Over 60 Westphalian communities responded, providing name, date of birth, place of residence, date and destination of emigration, deportation, or date of death. After Brilling's death, his papers (of which this survey forms just a small part) went to the Jüdisches Museum der Stadt Frankfurt am Main. In 1997-1998, researcher Peter Lande prepared a spreadsheet based on Brilling's survey.See also AR 2075 "Westphalia ; Jewish Community Collection"Processeddigitize
