Sadly there is no correct answer to this. Why you ask? Because life is an unpleasant situation, that you must face and make the best of even when it is at it's worst.
We must all come to the understanding that life is not fair and we must get use to it. Or else we will just go about life wishing things to get better and asking the same question "How do I handle unpleasant situations in life.
However the situation may impact you, use HALT to overcome the desire to interfere and work on something else in your own life for a time. 7Don't take things out on people you love or people who do not have anything to do with the bad situation. You are more likely to receive support and assistance when you are calm, rational and discuss the issues with others in such a manner.
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.
