The Sand Animation of Kseniya Simonova

A beautifully gritty performance.

Ingeniously executed, but I gotta say the ‘evil Germans’ theme is tiresome. Ukraine of all places; the Germans *liberated* Ukraine immediately following the Jewish-executed* Holodomor, in which at least 10 million Ukrainians were murdered. This explains why the Ukrainians not only viewed the Germans as liberators (and the Germans did treat them, the Estonians, etc. very well), but why the Germans even had to restrain them from excessive reprisals against their betrayers.

*Lazar Kaganovich and that almost all-Jewish soviet NKVD

czd5…miffed…really??? its the internet…

czd5 don’t feel so bad. This was actually on a Videosift list a few weeks backs. That being said, the Germans were not nice to the Ukrainians. My Great-grandfather would attest to it, and no he was not Jewish. This video is very powerful. That girl is really talented and passionate.

Shame on you.

This was awesome. Very moving. And could never, ever be done on America’s Got Talent—our three judges, unable to recognize originality and brilliance when they see it, would give her the X too soon for her art to even start telling a story.

That awesome instrumental version of Nothing Else Matters is done by an amazing quartet of cellists called Apocalyptica. They’ve covered a ton of Metallica as well as other metal bands.

it was amazing to me. there are alot of people still affected by what happened. it changed their lives forever. they will never be the same. we cant forget that.
