KISS (keep it simple, stupid): I'd prefer a short and active "who know" 
over a long and passive "to whom is known". 

Those who know Heinrich Böll's satiric shortstory "Doktor Murkes 
gesammeltes Schweigen [The collected silence of Dr. Murke]" will be 
reminded of Prof. Dr. Dr. Bur-Malottke, who in his recorded lectures 
wants the word "God" to be replaced by "the higher being we worship".
