I would have thought this to be a forgone conclusion, but it was finally done in 2001. Patricia Cornwell's quest to ID the Ripper resulted in all the remaining Ripper letters that Scotland Yard was still in possession of.(many of the letters and other evidence has been lost or stolen over the 100+ years since the crimes) The results were amazing. Many of the hundreds of letters that were sent to Scotland Yard, the Press, other players involved with the Ripper crimes, turned out to be written in artist's paints and pencils.
Some of the more recognized letters were thought to be written in blood, but were in fact artist's paint. There were many of them written with a purple artist's pencil. (There were other colors but purple seemed to be the author's favorite color) There were also many little drawings and pictures on a lot of these letters and notes.
When most of the letters were dismissed as hoaxes it supports her theory that a well known British artist was the Ripper.
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.
