I was 8. My 9 year old cousin told me. I think he was unsure and wanted to see how I reacted.
We asked my mom, and she told us to look it up. Those were her favorite words. Look it up.
I learned very quickly how to use a dictionary and a set of encyclopedias. LOL! Anyway, we looked it up and had more questions.
She told us to look those up, too. Finally, after we just couldn't say for sure, she told us about Santa. I don't remember being terribly upset about it, 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.
