Amazing Sand Animation Recounts German Occupation of Ukraine
Young, attractive, and extremely talented sand painter Kseniya Simonova (Ксения Симонова) recounts the German invasion and occupation of Ukraine in 1941 on Ukraine's Got Talent (Україна має талант). She won the 1,000,000 hryvnia prize (about $125,000 US).
There were over 1 million lives lost in the initial invasion. Germany conquered and occupied Ukraine under a ge
More..nocidal and totalitarian regime ("Reichskommissariat Ukraine") for 2 years and 4 months (September 1941 - March 1944), during which untold numbers of Ukrainian citizens lost their lives.
I guess you have to be Ukrainian to understand the audiences tearful reactions to some of the images that seem obscure. Less..

This got tagged "repost." I did *extensive* searches on LiveLeak for this video. "Sand Painting," "Ukraine," "Ukraine's Got Talent," "Kseniya Simonova," and more, and came up with NOTHING relating to this video.
Search does not work. At all.

Yeah, I posted this a couple days ago not realizing it had already been posted.
The tags I used were sand,

Ukraine.
I know, not great tags.
I was out of town for a week so I probably missed the first posting.

Why isn't she doing a sand animation about this genocide that occured in the Ukraine ? It was estimated that up to 10 million people, including children, lost their lives in that event that occured just a few years earlier than WW 2. I know the answer.
