Had this problem last week, the solutions I found: 1- create a page that loops through all posts of a (or several) custom post type: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#A_Page_of_Posts_for_a_Custom_Post_Type that's an exemple I found in wordpress documentation. So after creating that page template, you would just have to create a page in the admin and chose the template you just created.
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.
