On your homepage, go to the account tab in the top right hand corner. Then click "account settings". There will be a bunch of tabs for different things.
One is called "notifications" click on it and you will get a list of things that you get notified for. If you want you can leave some so that you still get notifications for certain things but other wise just uncheck everything. Don't worry this only disables the email notifications.
You will still get all your notifications within facebook itself.
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.
