It depends on which part of CT you are going to. While there are no non-stop flights to CT, you can fly to either Boston or New York's JFK. Where I used to live, we would fly into and out of the New York airports.
But if you live in the northern or eastern part of CT, Boston may be your best bet and the flight time is between 7 and 8 hours for a non-stop flight.
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.
