This is not an answer.. I'm asking a counter-question here rather than putting it up one as it seems most relevant.. As I do not have the privilage of commenting on any of the above answers, I have to put forth my counter-question in this way.. This question is especially for WindSurferOak...
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.
