Unless you want to commit bigamy You need to divorce before you re-marry anyone.
First Congrats you have made a big transition and I am sure Allah Loves you as he guided you to the right path. He is no longer your husband after the day you become became a Muslim because in Islam, a husband looses his legitimacy if he fails to provide his family while he can or he is away from his wife more than 4-6 months without her knowledge. You can marry straight away but I would also suggest you to file a divorce to avoid further complication.
Go to your nearest mosque and ask the Imam for further info. And may Allah protect 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.
