You can only allow anonymous access via a link. Therefore if you give one link to a page which then has content in another list on it, the content in another list cannot be seen by the anonymous users. There isn't a way to allow general anonymous access to content. You would need to get them to use Microsoft or Office 365 accounts and authenticate the users.
