The Oran massacre of 1962 (5–7 July 1962) was the mass killing of Pied-Noir and European expatriates living in Algeria. It took place in Oran beginning on the date of Algerian independence, and ended on 7 July 1962. Estimates of the casualties vary from a low of 95 (twenty of whom were European)[1] to 365 deaths in a report by a group of historians sent to the French government in 2006,[2] and have been utilised by right-wing parties.[3]
