The cemetery of Anholt

Since the early 17th century, Jewish families can be traced in Anholt, a small town on the Lower Rhine.

A synagogue in the town was consecrated in 1831. It fell victim to the war.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Jewish community disappeared due to emigration from Anholt.

The cemetery at the Dwarsefeld was used from the beginning of the 19th century. The last burial took place in 1934.

Today there are still 17 gravestones on the site
