The last evidence for one of the larger Jewish congregations in Western Pomerania, the Anklamer congregation, is the Jewish cemetery at the "Min Hüsung". Here the last burials took place in 1936. During the pogromnight from 9 to 10 November 1938 the cemetery was desecrated. In 1940, in the name of the Reich Association of Jews in Germany and the dissolving synagogue congregation, the cemetery land was sold for 250 Marks to the Mecklenburg-Pommersche Schmalspurbahn AG, which had undertaken not to interfere with it. Following the bomb attacks on the town in August 1944, however, it was used as a dumping ground for rubble and the cemetery was largely destroyed. Until their deportation in 1942, 11 Jews continued to live in Anklam. The last Jewish residents of Anklam were deported on 11-12 February 1940 via Szczecin to the district of Lublin in occupied Poland; no-one returned.
