Renaissance in Florence
A famous painter lived in Florence, he is Giotto di Bondone. One of his painting is "Kiss of Judas", it's his important painting. I choose it because the emotion in Judas, his face has feeling inside. Not just lines, and their face and other soldier's face has difference. Jesus seems calm, and the soldier seems angry. Also, the other story like a man cuts ear, the color is bright these are all Giotto's style.

Painting in Siena
This is a great website of Painting in Siena. These painting are early Renaissance, and it influences some church. It becomes dazzling facade of dark and light stone. Duccio, who impact the Painting in Siena. He uses strong color with gold to create some patterns.
This painting is Madonna and Child by Andrea. He use a special way to represent the Virgin, he made Madonna sits on a cushion. It shows the Humility, this is a popular way in that period. This painting can show this particular style.

Prisoner of War(POW)
I find this website about POW is really great,and it has some cool pictures. Prisoner of war can also says enemy prisoner of war(EPW). Between WWII, the death of POWs were 6 million to 10 million. Germany and Italy treated their prisoner from the British Commonwealth, France, the U.S. The prisoners almost have no food. Fortunately, the Red Cross gives the food packages. German didn't do the same thing to the non- western prisoners. About 1 million prisoners released during the war.
This website has whole history about POW, so I choose some part to discuss. The prisoner of war are combatants who imprison in the enemy power. The international law defines that it is a person captured while the fighting for millitary. The difference of German treated to soviet red army troops is take prisoners with neglect. The Nazi goverment thought Soviet Red Army is a lower racial order. As a result, there were hundred and thousands of POWs in Soviet died.

Spies in WWII
http://www.womeninwwii.com/army/womenspies.asp
This website is about women in WWII, and I choose a example to describe. Julia Child is the famous spy in the war. During the WWII, women is perfect to do intelligence work. They are easy to slip in enemy's fingertips than man. The spies took "intimate" knowledge of German military by the officers. Often, women will find a work by the enemy. There were women work for both SOE and OSS.

I found this website about the rise of Nazi party, and I took some picture in there.The Nazi party starts at the end of WWI. It starts in one team of unemployed soldiers at 1919.It also becomes a part of Germony goverment at 1933. The Germon worker's party is the forerunner of Nazi party. Hitler joined in this party, and soon to be the leadership with his emotional speeches. He changed the party name to " National Socialist German Workers"The short name is Nazi party. The picture on right side is the members of Nazi. I think it is large.
I found this website, I took many informations in it. Nazi party murder many "life unworthy of living" It include Jews, Slavs, and Roma, they also carry out their belief. They murder approximately 6 million Jews!!And 5 millions of the other. The picture at right side is the Nazism. I think it likes a Chinese word"卍"
This website is about the summary of the Nazi party's stories, I get many informations. Nazi is a main party of political force in "Nazi Germony"at the fall of "Weimar Republic".until WWII ended.
First, Hitler is the member of Nazi 555. However, Nazi starts a "Beer Hall putsch". They failed, but Hitler becomes the member 1 of the Nazi. The picture in right side is Hitler with his members in 1930.
