To describe it is to do it a disservice: it must be watched to be appreciated. Like Andrew Malcolm, I found it amazing, and I think that you will too.
The events that it represents are of the German invasion and occupation of Ukraine in World War II.

To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors … I mean it. — Margaret Thatcher

mbecker908 (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 4:11PM EST (link)1. She is an amazing artist.
2. Her countrymen know their history, understand it and refuse to forget it.
3. This was produced with no help from the NEA.
A perfect art review

kowalski (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 4:11PM EST (link)So many talented and beautiful people in the world who deserve their freedom and who know what it means to have it. What an extraordinary gift, and there are others who share it.
Of course they should be FREE. I thought that’s what America stood for.

Art and what it means
fisk2521 Sunday, September 20th at 9:21PM EST (link)This was such a moving performance evoking great sadness in the audience, I spent some time researching the Ukraine and World War II. I’m discovering the extreme suffering of the Ukrainian people caused by BOTH Hitler and Stalin. and the millions of lives lost..something I had not known and am now better for learning about it.
This is art at it’s best….. giving meaning to the past and the horrors of history and how they impact us today. Tremendous artist…very moving..

Stalin Killed c. 10 million in the Ukraine Before Hitler Cranked Up the Holocaust
Ausonius (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 10:49PM EST (link)I also recall reading about a Russian general laughing after WW II about the 6 million Jews in Nazi concentration camps: when he was told about it, he said that there were easily twice that number in Siberian death-camps!
Stalin deliberately starved to death – depending on the historian’s estimate – somewhere between 10 and 14 million Ukrainians in the early to mid 1930′s: he confiscated their food to sell it on the international market and buy technology for industrialization.
Ausonius: 310-395 A.D. Teacher, Poet, Consul, General, Farmer.
Personal Tutor to the future St. Paulinus of Nola and to young Gratian, heir to the throne during the turbulent final years of the Western Roman Empire. When his former student Gratian was assassinated, Ausonius threw up his hands and retired to his farm in Gaul. Rome was captured by barbarians 14 years after his death.

That's a lie. You should be ashamed.
mbecker908 (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 11:12PM EST (link)Nobel Prize winner and NY Times reporter Walter Duranty repeatedly reported that the “starvation” story was a lie. The peasants were shipping their excess food to the front for the brave Russian Army.
If you can’t believe the NY Times and the Nobel Committee who CAN you believe.
