Well first; tell them before you do something. I would also suggest lay low for a while, so they calm down. Start doing things around the house to get on their good side too.
I would also just sit them down and talk, why do they make these assumptions? Tell them how you feel, and try to make a agreement or a middle ground.
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.
