Sure The "writing off" is only a term for the accounting entry on the creditors side...that their books recognized you were a bad debt. They don't forgive the debt by doing so...they just change it from being an asset (money to be received), to a loss.
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.
