What you are saying is you lied during the interview to get the job. This might not set to well with higher ups. The way I would see it is if you lied to get the job, you would lie to keep the job.
They may eventually find out and then you would have to explain. There is a trickle down effect to lying. And it usually always catches up to you.
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.
