She was gassed in the concentration camp of Auschwitz on August 1942, during the Second World War. • The acronym ISIS stands for “IstitutodiIstruzioneSuperiore”, that means “Institute of Higher Education”. • The “Vitruvian Man”, a drawing made by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1490, is the school logo. Can you recognise it in the background?
