The Times Of Israel reports:
The wife of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman performed a Holocaust-themed ice skating show on a popular reality television show Saturday night. Tatiana Navka, a former Olympic figure skating medalist and wife of Putin’s chief spokesman Dmitry Peskov, donned striped concentration camp uniforms complete with yellow stars of David, to compete for top honors on the celebrity competition show “Ice Age.”
She and her partner Andre Burkovsky skated across the ice to “Beautiful That Way” by Israeli singer Achinoam “Noa” Nini. The performance appeared to be well received by the audience. In an Instagram post, Navka said the 4-minute performance was based on the 1997 Holocaust film “Life is Beautiful.”
“Based on one of my favorite movies!” she posted Saturday. “Show this movie to your children!” The usually glamorous Navka added that her plain look without makeup “was necessary” for the performance.
This might be offensive if they hadn't take such great care to recreate all the wonderful ice dancing going on at Aushwitz at the time. https://t.co/Nz0iDHqili
