Lost driver's license, social security card and birth certificate!?

It would be a good idea to check with social sercurity.

As far as the government is concerned you are Joseph. I don't see a point where they ask to see your birth certificate again.

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.
