What did a chemical plant make in 1940's Chicago on the north side of Avondale Park near Avondale and Roscoe named Van Shacht and what were in the many large hills of debris?

I am not shure what was made here but I think the plant caught on fire in 1945 and there was an explosin there killing 5 firefighters.

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.
