Don't do this. Placeholders are legacy from classic WebForms. Manipulating server side controls in an ASP.NET MVC application is very bad and you should never do it.
So simply forget about setting properties on user controls. Fortunately in Razor placeholders have been completely removed and replaced by sections. So don't write code that you won't be able to migrate later.
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.
