I'm not quite sure what additional information you need, as you seem to be aware of all the ingredients for making this happen: You know that you want to detect an event, you know that you need to call a function, so I'm hoping I haven't missed something about what you're asking. I'm going to assume that you just need to know how to tie all these parts together.
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.
