Try a drop of paint stripper, but be careful and don't get any on YOU. Let it soak in for about 30 minutes, then scrub it off using a nylon brush. Wear gloves and make sure you have a window open nearby.
While that stuff works well with laquer based paints, it can be a hazard. Answer BTW, make sure the surface is dry when you use the paint stripper. Water often kills it's ability to cut the paint.
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.
