History

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the Germans murdered about 500 Poles from the region in several massacres in the settlement of Rury Jezuickie, now located within the district.[2] Among the victims were activists, students, doctors, engineers, local officials, judges, lawyers, military officers, members of the Sejm (Polish parliament), etc.[2] There is a memorial at the site.
