Kseniya Simonova is a Ukrainian artist who just won Ukraine's version of "America's Got Talent." She uses a giant light box, dramatic music, imagination and "sand painting" skills to interpret Germany's invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII.

Beautiful.

I will admit something here; I understood the story she was telling and thought it was beautiful, sorrowful and a great telling of the occupation as a country at war.  Very sad, brought tears to my eyes.

 

But reading the comments at Youtube while people bash "why would anyone cry over this?"  Made me sick at my stomach realizing we're truly in a generation of people who have no comprehension for real horrors in the world :(

Yep. It is a sad testament to the world we live in.

That was quite beautiful.

And I agree about the lack of comprehension of some.  I think it's very important that historical accounts and records (books, documents, electronic resources, films, etc.) be preserved and made accessible for all time.  Now we have to hope that people will make use of these resources, as a means of diminishing the level of not knowing.

Not knowing can be remedied easily enough. Not caring is a bit more difficult to remedy.

You have to care enough to want to know about it in the first place. And in the end know enough about it to really care.
