It is unfortunatly a known issue that not-found=ignore causes additional selects. There have been bug reports filed for this in both NHibernate and Hibernate for quite some time (2007) and currently no known work around has been made available other than removing not-found=ignore or changing the data present in the database so it is no longer required.
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.
