Skulls of victims of the Ba Chúc Massacre.

The Ba Chúc Massacre was carried out by the regular army of Democratic Kampuchea's army, the Khmer Rouge, on April 18, 1978 in Ba Chúc, Tri Tôn, An Giang Province, southern Vietnam. Of those who had lived in Ba Chúc, 3,157 civilians were killed.[1] Only two survived the massacre. The attack was one of the events that prompted the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea.
