Dans ce contexte tragique, les deux femmes firent le choix de s’engager, l’une a travers l’ecriture, l’autre en rejoignant la Resistance, dans la lutte contre le fascisme. Une decision qui devait les amener a s’interroger, en tant qu’Americaines expatriees en France, sur leurs pays d’origine et d’adoption, ainsi que sur les questions d’appartenance et de citoyennete, cruciales pour tous ceux qui aspirent a l’avenement de la democratie a travers le monde.

Kinect camera provides 3-D information of a target object, therefore the control algorithm of the position-based visual servoing (PBVS) can be simplified, as there is no requirement to estimate a 3-D feature point position from the extracted image and the camera model. The Kalman filter is used to predict the target position and velocity. This control method is applied to a calibrated robotic system with eye-to-hand configuration. The stability analysis has been derived and real-time experiments have been carried out using a 7 DOF PowerCube manipulator from Amtec Robotic. The experimental results of both static and moving targets are presented to demonstrate and to verify the proposed position based visual tracking system performance.

The Germans arrested some two thousand British women and then nearly three hundred American women of different class backgrounds, religions, political beliefs, and national affiliations, who were placed in the hotels of this spa town. The Vittel internment camp also became the temporary home of around three hundred Jews from the Warsaw ghetto, who claimed to possess American and South American citizenship. Most of these Jews were sent to their deaths at Auschwitz. Drawing on memoirs, letters, Red Cross reports, and scattered histories, this article explores the interactions, resistance, and prejudices of camp inhabitants. It argues that American women’s behavior was guided less by religious beliefs than one might expect in the context of the 1940s.
