I think personally this is a special problem with Syrian and Kurd refugees lately they have been told by someone to act that way . I was just watching the news 300 of them in Hungary escaped and police is looking for them. They are transporting them to Austrian border.
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.
