Well, the only real error I can see offhand is that you're not creating a new instance of Account - so what you'll be doing is changing the values on a single account and readding it to the list - you'll only end up with the last account in the file stored. You need to create a new Account for each iteration of the loop.
Tried with your file and the code fails at the second loop not the first one. This because the "blankline" at the end triggers a second loop but then there is no more data to read.
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.
