Alright, I've stuck to fiction my whole life. Non-fiction has usually bored me, so why write it? Well, until recently. I think that as I have gotten older, I've enjoyed researching/studying history more, ecspecially the WWII era.
Now here's the thing. I have a neighbor who's towards if not in his 90's, He's like reading a history book when you listen to his stories. He's from Austria, was there when the Nazis took over, he joined the Nazi youth, saw the trains go by that had Jews inside, saw the smoke from Aushwitz, and crossed a couple desserts.
This man is not famous at all, except the small area where I live because he was a popular doctor during his medical career. Is it worth it to interview him, record all his stories, write them down, and aim to get them published? Or, would only the people of the rural area where I live enjoy his tales?

(side note, if I actually do this, I might need help. The only non-fiction I've done was a 12pg research paper on a Jew-hider in WWII)
