I've been trying to write a story that takes place during WWII, and am finding it takes a WHOLE LOT more research than I thought! I've already found a few facts I had wrong in my original! But I am learning quite a few interesting facts! For instance, did you know that a young 17 year old girl, supported herself and her little sister (I think her parents were dead), as well as hid 13 Jewish people in her apartment?! I found that amazing!!!! There are so many true and inspiring stories about people during the Holocaust. However it is a very sad period too. When I read such stories, I want to cry. Okay, I think I've gotten away from original topic here!!! TTYL! ~Kristalily

Yes, I do I'm working on a novel about a half-german, half-jewish girl, set during WWII also, and yes, it takes a lot of research Especially finding out how things could work, and still be in line with history. It's fun though I used to know of some sites that gave good info about WWII. Let me see if I can find them, and I'll e-mail them to you Blessings, Deb "Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace: Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved, as to love. For it is in giving we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; It is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life." --St. Francis of Assisi"
