Believe it or not Las Vagas is really trying to promote itself as a family friendly place to visit. Used to be there was only Circus Circus. Now there are many things for families with children.
lasvegasfamilies.com/ See if this helps.
There are things to do for people under 18 in Vegas. People do live there and raise families there so it isn't all just casino's and topless shows. There are many NON topless shows, magicians and other performers and Circus Circus.
Also in the Camelot castle looking one a whole floor under the casino floor that is like a huge fair. I enjoy taking my kids places and I refuse to say well we can't go to Vegas or Disney World because they aren't old enough. If you plan right you can have an enjoyable vacation just about anywhere with kids of any age.
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.
