EDIT : Short answer is still yes. The proper attribute is actually the XmlType attribute. In addition, you will need to specify a namespace, and then in the serialization code you will need to specify aliases for the namespaces that will be used to qualitfy elements.
Another way how to achieve it, is to write your xml - than use tool in visual studio - xml to xsd. If you have xsd, you can generate serializeable classes with xsdToCode.
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.
