I started to write a quick answer to this but it quickly became clear that it needed something longer to be of any practical use. Please see my hub, 'Why does my Dentist need to know what Medicines I take? ' That should tell you everything you need to know.(I would have given you a clickable link but that doesn't seem to be working right now).
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.
