For those who like this sort of thing, "The Great War" on YouTube followed WW1 week by week, 100 years afterwards. No reason you couldn't do the same with 107 year delay or something. It was very well done.

He summarizes news reports and other real-time accounts from the years leading up to World War II and the Holocaust. An excerpt, from page 34: “The New York Times reported, on page one, that the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith, a group with sixty thousand members, had issued a statement saying that the reports of atrocities by Nazis against Jews were ‘pure invention.’ It was March 25, 1933. “Anti-Semitism existed, and it was, the society said, a matter of grave concern, but it was a domestic affair. ‘Let us take an energetic stand against everybody attempting criminally to influence the shaping of Germany’s future through foreign newspapers.’ ”
