Just imagine you are answering the question verbally. Put the date on the top of the document. Give the person's name and yours and give the date and place where you first met.
You can mention that they worked with you or went to school with you. Sign your name and put all of your contact information below that. A phone number and address should be enough.
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.
