"Ukraine's Got Talent" winner.

It's worth your time to watch this commemoration of WWII - when 1 in 4 Ukrainians died. The following text is from my friend Beth Cutter: "The winner of this year’s edition of “Ukraine’s Got Talent” was Kseniya Simonova, a sand artist. Her real-time animation depicted the Nazi invasion of Ukraine in WWII. It begins with a couple sitting on a bench, holding hands. Soon warplanes appear, the idyllic scene is destroyed, and in its place we see a woman crying. warplanes arrive again. As images morph from a weeping widow, to a monument to an Unknown Soldier, to a mother and child bidding farewell to a man with his hands pressed against the glass, you can see members of the audience weeping"
