They are unusual sentences for sure, but I disagree with Randy that "no more" = "less", it can, and I think here does, mean "equal". So a) apparently means not that neither is a threat but that both are. And I guess b) means "my Jewishness is central to my identity, equal to my humanity".
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.
