The My Trach Massacre (Template:Lang-vi') was a massacre of Vietnamese civilians carried out by the French army during French rule in Vietnam. The massacre occurred in Mỹ Trạch village, Mỹ Thủy commune, Lệ Thủy District, Quảng Bình Province, Vietnam from 5 am to 8 am on November 29, 1947. In this operation, 326 houses were burnt, and more than half of the village's residents were killed.[1] Many women were raped by the French soldiers before being killed. Over 300 civilian residents in Mỹ Trạch were assassinated, of whom 170 were women and 157 were children.[2]
The location of the massacre was in the foot of Mỹ Trạch Bridge, a bridge on the North–South Railway, next to Mỹ Trạch Railway Station. The victims were forced to the foot of the bridge and lined up before being killed with machine gun fire.[2]
Every year, November 29 is mourned as "Hatred Date" by the residents in this village.[3]
The memorial park in which the memorial site is located was classified by the Ministry of Culture of Vietnam as one of the National Historical Relics of Vietnam on 27 December 2001.[4]
