![“Holocaust on Ice,” Starring the Wife of Vladimir Putin’s Aide [VIDEOS]](https://victorygirlsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/iu-15.jpeg)
Yes, you read correctly. It’s not Holiday on Ice, but Holocaust on Ice. The skating production stars Tatiana Navka, Russian Olympic skating champion. Oh, and she’s also the wife of an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
For her performance in the Holocaust-themed skating routine, Navka and her skating partner wear striped pajamas with the notorious yellow stars attached. They skate to the song “Beautiful That Way,” from the 1997 film Life is Beautiful.
Russian skaters are legendary for the grace and skill, and these two are no exception in this routine, but oh! This made me cringe.
When asked why on earth she would perform this routine, Navka said simply that it was “based on one of my favorite movies.” She added that it was important for children to learn about the Holocaust, and proudly posted pictures of the routine on Instagram.
I agree that the Holocaust should be taught, but to children of an appropriate age. And certainly not in such a light-hearted manner. I’m pretty sure ice skating rinks were not constructed for entertainment in concentration camps.
This is not the first time Russians have used the Holocaust as entertainment. In April, the Russian version of “Dancing with the Stars” presented a routine featuring a Nazi soldier finding a Jewish girl hiding behind a piano. He’s taken by her beauty, and the two dance to . . . are you ready for this? Frank Sinatra singing “Fly Me to the Moon.”
