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

In London and sporadically in the rest of England, Jews have been resident since about 1070.

The East End of London was already since the early modern times the gateway to the metropolis for refugees and migrants, first from Europe, later from all over the world. Especially in the 17th century, Huguenots settled here, persecuted for their faith in France. Various French street names in Whitechapel still testify to this settlement, and houses on it of the prosperity to which some of them - especially the silk weavers - brought.

Since 1843, the West London Synagogue owned a cemetery in Islington, but towards the end of the century it was fully occupied.
