It is not a separate shtetl and had no organized Jewish community of its own — records naming "Rury" refer to the outskirts of Lublin, whose great Jewish community was destroyed in the Holocaust. (During the German occupation the Nazis carried out massacres of Poles at Rury Jezuickie, commemorated by a memorial.)
