President Joachim Gauck has visited Babyn Yar, a 1941 Nazi massacre site in Ukraine, saying generations later Germany will continue owning up to its past. More than 33,000 Jews were murdered in a ravine outside Kyiv.
Gauck, who is close to ending his four-year term as German head of state, made his eighth foreign visit to past sites of Nazi atrocities on Sept. 29 by visiting the ravine where Nazi troops, including SS commandos, shot dead 33,771 Jews, including children, in just two days.
