If you are traveling to Europe and wish to convert to the Euro, I would recommend waiting until you arrive. When I was in the Czech Republic, I found a bank soon after arriving and converted some dollars into Czech money (Ceska Koruna at the time). There is typically a service fee, but it is generally lower than pulling a little amount of money from a foreign ATM several times a day.
ATM fees add up quickly over a one or two week trip in a foreign country. Per your question about Amazon. Com: Amazon.Com has a feature called the "Amazon Currency Converter" that will accept most common currencies of the world.
Euro is surely in it. If you use a card associated with an account that hold euros, the Amazon Currency Converter will automatically exchange the proper amount of your currency to pay for the item.It will be subject to the current exchange rates (they change all the time) but could save you money because you skip the "exchange fee" that is usually associated with exchanging currencies.
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.
