Armin Mordekhai Schreiner (25 February 1874 – 29 November 1941) was influential Croatian industrialist, banker, Jewish activist and member of the first Freemasonry Jewish Lodge Zagreb No. 1090 independent order of B'nai B'rith.[1]

Schreiner was born on 25 February 1874 to Yaakov and Khana Schreiner. He was Jewish, considered himself non-Zionists[2] and was married to Roza Schreiner.[3] He and his wife had six children; daughters Mira (b. 1915)[4] and Ella (b. 1902), and sons; Leo (now Arie Aharoni, b. 1913),[5] Ferdinand (b. 1901),[6] Hadumi (b. 1908), Vladimir (b. 1909),[7] and Otto (b. 1912).[8] He was the owner of multiple factories, among them brick factory "Zagorka" (now "Tondach Hrvatska")[1][9] in Bedekovčina. He was also the vice president of City Savings Bank of Zagreb and vice president of the "Industrialists Union".[10]

Schreiner's family suffered terrible devastation during the Holocaust. Schreiner was killed at the Jasenovac concentration camp in 1941.[5][10][11] His wife and daughter were killed in August 1941, at the Pag concentration camp.[3][4] His son Vladimir was killed in 1941 at Jadovno concentration camp,[7] son Otto in 1941 at Thessaloniki,[8] and son Ferdinand, with his 7-year-old daughter Helga, in 1942 at the Auschwitz concentration camp.[6][12] Schreiner son Arie and daughter Ella were the only one who survived the Holocaust.[5]
