Okay, so here's the dealio-
This whole thesis thing began in May 2013, and I continued to research throughout the semester, which, quite frankly, I should have done a lot more, but life kinda gets in the way...so does working full-time. Regardless, once school started up in August, I began to heavily research and started writing my 5 researched topics. Currently, I've got 4/5 papers written (Heisenberg and the Atomic Project, you're goin' down) and I think this is a great point at which to consider what I want to do with this.
Initially, I wanted to just write a 40000+ page saga (no really, I did) but I soon realized that I could split up the work into 5 overall categories, write those specifically and then figure out some sort of way to combine them together...generally that was done under the broad heading of "Nazi Science."
Looking back, maybe there was a better way to set this up...
Regardless, right now, I'm planning on taking all this information and potentially putting together an online exhibit in which people can access images, sound bites, and researched goodies. The issue? Currently the United States Holocaust Museum has a touring exhibit entitled "Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race." So now I have to distinguish myself from that exhibit.
This process is delicate, especially considering the subject matter, but including creativity is an obstacle in itself. You can't exactly make Nazi science and genocide "fun and interactive".... So I'll just keep hanging out with my Nazi books until an idea dawns on me!

Fun Fact: If you spread out Nazi books and Nazi propaganda, no one will try and sit at your table in the library...or anywhere near you actually...
