To add to last topic you must read this information



> This video shows the winner of "Ukraine’s Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova,

> 24 drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing

> how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II.

> Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch.



> The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience

> to tears and she won the top prize of about £75,000.



> She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands

> on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy

> scene is obliterated.



> It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and

> the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova

> throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.



> She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before

> the image turns into a monument to an Unknown

This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is

> looking out on the monument from within a house.



> In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man

> standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying

> goodbye.



> The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one

> in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths

> out of a population of 42 million.
