Your script tags in the head are out of order. JQuery should be first, then jquery-ui. This would prevent jquery-ui (and hence the dialog plugin) from running.
The dialog is default hidden. Try to put the autoOpen = true.
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.
