Yes, from what I understand, related pages should be in the sidebar column much like they were in M2. They should not be in the main content section. Some pages only have them in the content section.
If this is the case, you can create a new text section in the side bar, title it Related Mahalo Pages, and copy over the related pages from the main content section.
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.
