Use an inverter. In this case they are often called DC-DC converters. It is the DC equivalent of a plugpack.
It converts the DC to AC so it can pass through a transformer, then converts it back to DC. The operating frequency is generally tens of kHz or higher so that a small transformer can be used. There are many kinds, starting with say 5 or 12 volts, and providing other voltages.
The prices vary depending on the purpose. High reliabilty models (for telecommunications, military, etc.) and certified models for fire and insurance tend to be expensive. Devices with low electrical noise is also likely to be expensive because of the extra design effort and filtering and testing.
If it is to convert 24 volts to 12 V (as often required on trucks, boats and such, there is a specific market. More.
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.
