This is an accepted version of this page Nathan Zach (Hebrew: נתן זך; 13 December 1930 – 6 November 2020) was an Israeli poet.

Born in Berlin to a German-Jewish officer and an Italian Catholic mother, the Seitelbach family fled to the Land of Israel in 1936 following the rise of the Nazi regime.

[6] The literary scholar Nili Rachel Scharf Gold has pointed to Zach as an exemplar illustrating the role of "Mother Tongue" culture, in his case vis-a-vis German, on modern Hebrew literature.

[9] In his final years, Zach struggled with a worsening Alzheimer's disease, forcing him to reside in an assisted living facility.

[11] Internationally acclaimed, Zach has been called "the most articulate and insistent spokesman of the modernist movement in Hebrew poetry".
