Born in Kolberg Ostseebad, (then Germany, today Poland), Arnold Zadikow (1884-1943) was a Jewish sculptor who worked in many media: silver, stone, glass and metals. Like Ludwig Gies, Zadikow trained in Munich and was a pupil of Heinrich Wadere. He settled in Prague but was later murdered in Theresienstadt. A Twelve Tribes-themed brass Chanukah lamp by Zadikow is in the collection of The Jewish Museum of New York.
