EDIT: I did a bit more work looking at the page, how you're trying to process it, and think this works better. I changed how you process the page also, because it wasn't as clear as how I like seeing it, for maintainability and readability.
This is a character encoding issue, which has been answered here.
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.
