It's just a matter of degree, actually. Faith, in itself, is quite "Blind" because it's "Believing" in something that cannot be established as a fact. If something is a fact, it doesn't need belief.
There is a difference. I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow morning. I have seen it before, and I understand how the Earth rotating works to make the sun come up in the morning.
Blind faith is to believe in something with no evidence or understanding. Like having faith that big foot is blue, would be blind faith.
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.
