SLYT - A Story of WWII in a sand animation. A young woman demonstrates her mastery of performance-art animation on the Ukrainian version of "Britain's Got Talent." Unexpectedly powerful.

Unfortunately, it's a double.
Excellent video, though.

That was really, really awesome. Anyone have some info about the songs and lyrics played during each section, and whether any of her images are especially iconic to the Ukrainian people?

That was brilliant!
The final part of the music was Mettalica's "Nothing Else Matters" performed by a string orchestra.

There were two songs by Apocalyptica, at 3:46 and the last song.
I really, really liked this. Hadn't seen it before. I kinda wished they kept the camera on the artist's work instead of cutting to her or the audience, but I still appreciate the performance.

Incredile.
I have never heard of sand animation before this FPP and just found this one and this, among others.
There's even a website devoted to the art.
