I would attend and even pull the lever if someone hurt someone in my family or a close friend. I would want the person to see me smile when I did it and I would curse them as they left.
I would attend if the victim was related to my friend.
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.
