When I was living in Tucson, I had several bird feeders on my open porch....their was a finch flying around and it would occasionally land on the brick wall about a foot away from me. I held out my finger (never thinking anything would happen) and all of a sudden it flew over and landed on my hand. I felt like a male snow white and was bummed out because no one was there to see it!
It stayed there and let me talk to it for about a minute and a half before flying away. It was really cool.
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.
