This question sure did take me back 8 years :) My son was almost two and still having that little "comfort" session, he was addicted to say the least. Guess what worked, we went on holidays for 10 days to Grandma's. I explained shortly after we got there that "Ah Oh, mommy forgot them at home, we would have to go without that while at Grandma's house" He never looked back!
He knew going home to get them was not possible as it was a long plane ride to Grandma's.
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.
