Beth Olem in Hebrew means a cemetery, literally house of the world. In Hebrew vowels are not really written so 'a' or 'e' is the same thing, sometimes you will see it written Beth Olam. Beth means house, Olem means the world. Likewise in Bethlehem, which means house of bread.
Many of the world's cities have Jewish cemeteries hidden away. Pity they have to be hidden like this, but it does keep them safe from desicration, which is something that happens a lot to Jewish and other minority cemeteries.
