I doubt it. I graduated HS in 1964 and college in 1968. No, there were no nativity plays when my daughters were in school and there are none in the my grandsons' HS.
I am not in school anymore. You need to go back.
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.
