Oh, boy...if son had not moved back home and you came highly recommended I might consider it. I can highly recommend in New York City to stay at the Seafarer and International House. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g60763-d609602-Reviews-Seafarers_International_House-New_York_City_New_York.htmlMy son did a Tom Lang (best drummer in the world, I'm told) boot camp crash course and stayed at the hotel.
He loved it and it was reasonable. Owned and run by Lutheran priests. Violet1 65 months ago http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g60763-d609602-Reviews-Seafarers_International_House-New_York_City_New_York.html.
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.
