The Jewish population grew from 709 in 1765 to roughly 5,350 (out of 10,636) in 1897 and 5,679 in 1921. Under German occupation from 15 September 1939, nearly the entire Jewish community was destroyed, with deportations to the Sobibór extermination camp in 1942. <small>Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hrubieszów, https://sztetl.org.pl/en/towns/h/266-hrubieszow/99-history/137366-history-of-community, https://www.holocausthistoricalsociety.org.uk/contents/ghettosa-i/hrubieszow.html</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Mordko Wolf Hudys (b.1830)]] | Born ~1830, Died 03/11/1879 | | [[Noech Hudys (b.1842)]] | Born 1842 | | [[Chaim Hudys (b.1850)]] | Born 1850, Died 1856 | | [[Ruchla Goldbaum (b.1852)]] | Born 1852 | | [[Abus Hudys (d.1865)]] | Died 1865 | | [[Frajda Spitz (b.1829)]] | Died 1879 | | [[Azriel Friedman]] | Died | | [[Shlomo Friedman]] | Born | | [[Wolf Hudys (d.1893)]] | Born , Died 1893 | | [[Edela Konig]] | Born |
