A co-worker's mother has died and should one attend her funeral if one did not know her?

I think it would be a nice gesture of support to the co- worker who would probably see it as a mark of respect to her and an acknowledgment of the difficult time this is in his or her life. It also gives you an opportunity to find out more of the person's life which can be a good opening point for meaningful discussions in the future.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
