Hartog Anholt, his nickname was Henri, was born November 30, 1905 in Zwolle as son of Isac Anholt (1878-1964) and Louise de Jong (1883-1950). Henri has a younger sister Elisabeth (Betsy) (1907-1987).

On April 27, 1917, Henri moved with his parents and his sister Betsy van Zwolle to Keizersgracht 293 in Amsterdam. He was registered at this address until just before his marriage in 1933. His sister Betsy moves to the Dutch East Indies in 1934.
Henri married Elise Rosa Hartog (1897–1942) on November 8, 1933 in The Hague.
Elise Rosa is the daughter of Joost Samuel Hartog (1864-1932) and Timah Barattan, a Javanese woman, and was born in Djember (Dutch East Indies). She has lived with her father and brother in The Hague since 1917. Henri and Elise Rosa move to Huis ter Heide near Zeist, where they will first live at 32 Dolderscheweg and then also at No. 197. From November 6, 1940, when the war is almost six months old, Henri and Elise Rosa come to live in Oisterwijk in the house de Kwikstaart at Klompven D320 (Bremlaan 1).
Elise Rosa dies on April 24, 1942 in Tilburg as a result of a fibroid. The couple remained childless.

In several documents, Henri's profession is referred to as a "traveler" and importer of footwear. His father, Isac Anholt, also practiced both professions.
Together with his cousin Jacob Harry Heimans, who also lives in Oisterwijk, Henri has a shoe factory on the Lind B370 in Oisterwijk, the Heimans & Anholt Schoenfabriek N.V. Jacob Heimans also owns a slipper factory on the Boxtelsebaan.
On August 27, 1942, the wife of
Henri passed away a few months earlier, the constables of Oisterwijk issued ten calls to ten Jews, nine of whom had previously had German nationality. They must report to a room close to the station at 5 o'clock the next day. Three people, including Henri Anholt, have no intention of doing this and go into hiding. Henri Anholt's neighbor, head teacher Jelle Menage, helps Henri find a hiding place when it is on the deportation list of 28 August 1942.
‘The mayor of Oisterwijk requests that Hartog Anholt, shoe manufacturer, living at Klompven D320 in Oisterwijk be located, detained and brought to trial because he left his place of residence without the required permit.’ This description referred to Jews who had gone into hiding. On his identity card, the date 30 November 1942 reads VOW, Departed Unknown Where.
On May 13, 1943, the mayor of Oisterwijk wrote the following about Henri Anholt to the Commissioner of the Province about the household effects of a number of Jews:
'Hartog Anholt, born 30 November 1905 in Zwolle, having lived in Oisterwijk, Klompven, D. no. 320. The household effects of this person are housed in a wooden shed on the Roode Brugstraat, under the municipality of Oisterwijk and concern the items left behind by him. household effects of a few rooms, etc. He disappeared on August 28, 1942.'

According to notes from the Red Cross, Henri Anholt was arrested by the SD in Amsterdam on August 23, 1943, almost a year after he had ignored the call to report. He then has the pseudonym Jelle Postma. Five days later, on August 28, 1943, they take Henri to Westerbork. There he was placed in barrack 67, one of the three penal barracks in Westerbork. These penal barracks form a kind of camp within the camp. These penal barracks are separated from the other barracks by a barbed wire fence. This is where the Jews who have withdrawn from the measures of the Germans end up. Especially arrested people in hiding belong to these criminal cases.
After a stay of more than two and a half months, he was then deported on 16 November 1943 from Westerbork to Auschwitz, where the train finally arrived on 19 November 1943.
The transport to Auschwitz, of which Henri Anholt is a part, consists of 995 persons. On arrival at Auschwitz, the men between the ages of 16 and 50 (281) are selected for employment in the labor camps. Henri Anholt, aged 38, also belongs to this group. They are first quarantined for four weeks and then placed in a labor camp. In the end, all these 281 men died by 31 March 1944 at the latest. However, all the women and children and the elderly of this transport were killed by gassing immediately upon arrival in Auschwitz on 19 November 1943. A statement from the Dutch Red Cross states:
"Considering that nothing further has been heard since the deportation of or about the wanted person, it must be assumed that Anholt, Hartog died of illness, exhaustion or gas asphyxiation."

Both his sister Betsy and his parents Isac and Louise Anholt survive the war. Isac and Louise Anholt are in hiding in Drachten. Sister Betsy, who moved to the Dutch East Indies in 1934, spent the war years in the Dutch East Indies together with her son Robert, born in 1940, and returned to the liberated Netherlands in 1946.
This is different for two of Henri Anholt's cousins, Rozetta Anholt and Reintje Betsy Anholt. On 15 May 1940, the day on which the Netherlands surrenders, they end their lives together with their husbands and a son. Mina Anholt, Henri's aunt, and her husband Louis Stibbe, shoe dealer in Amsterdam, also committed suicide on 15 October 1942, after being summoned to the labor camps in Germany.
According to the daughter-in-law of sister Betsy, her mother-in-law never wanted to talk about the war and what the loss of her brother Henri meant to her.
