Zahara Schatz

Zahara Schatz (Hebrew: זהרה ש"ץ; 1916–1999), was an Israeli artist and designer.

[2][3] She was the daughter of Boris Schatz, who founded the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem.

She was best known for the six-branched menorah she designed for the entrance to the Yad Vashem, Israel's official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.

They abandoned their father's predilection for Romantic Classicism and his search for a Jewish Eretz Israel-style in favor of a European-American modernism.

[7] Her winning table lamp design was manufactured by the Heifez Company, the sponsor of the MoMA competition.
