history
The Jewish community of Senones, which probably emerged in the 19th century, consisted of 62 people (2.6% of the population) in 1859 and 104 people in 1885. Like so many other Jewish communities, it suffered the same fate. In 1943 and 1944 the Jewish residents were deported and murdered by the German occupiers .

The Jewish cemetery in Senones, built in early 1920, is right next to the communal cemetery. About 30 tombstones ( Mazevot ) are still preserved and testify to the Jewish history of the place.
