Kinda depends on how much stuff you are paginating. If it is small then you can hold the whole thing in javascript memory using preloading and then paginate based on the javascript objects. If you are looking at potentially tens of thousands or more of items to paginate, then you may consider preloading part of that and then using ajax to load pages later on depending on how the user navigates.
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.
