KYIV, Oct 6 - The presidents of Ukraine, Israel and Germany on Wednesday inaugurated a memorial center for the victims of the Babyn Yar massacre in Ukraine eight decades after one of the most infamous Nazi mass slaughters of the Holocaust, AP reported.

Nearly 34,000 Jews were killed within 48 hours in Babi Yar, a ravine in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, when the city was under Nazi occupation in 1941. SS troops carried out the massacre with local collaborators.
