I'd use regexes (hoping not to get as many downvotes as the last time ;) ). I'm taking advantage of backreferences which allows basically to use previously captured groups. You can also have different separators in the same file as long as every line uses the same separator (don't know if it is useful though).
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.
