For this type of situation I suggest using 2 content handlers. The first is responsible for finding the relevant part of the document, and the second for processing the content. My answer to a similar question (see link below) demonstrates how to implement this approach.
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.
