To be able to parse that document (which is not well formed) I would recommend to do the following.
1 . Ampersands are part of the XML syntax specification (they are used to encode non-standard characters). Therefore, they cannot be used alone in XML documents.
They have to be encoded into & or they have to be enclosed in a CDATA-block : http://www.w3schools.com/xmL/xml_cdata.asp.
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.
