Mirko Breyer (23 October 1863 – 29 December 1946) was known Croatian writer, bibliographer and antiquarian.[1][2]

Breyer was born in Varaždin, Croatia on 23 October 1863. He was raised in a Jewish family of Marko Breyer. Breyer's great grandfather Samuel Breyer moved to Rasinja, Croatia from Burgenland, Austria during Austrian Empire. His grandfather Jakov Breyer was born in Rasinja and later moved to Križevci, Croatia where his son Marko (Breyer's father) was born. Breyer's father was banker-manager at the "Križevačka dionička štedionica" (Križevci equity savings), longtime representative of the Križevci City Assembly and municipal prefect deputy.[3]

Breyer spent his early childhood in Varaždin. He finished elementary school in Križevci and attended high school in Varaždin, Zagreb and Trieste. After high school Breyero worked in Trieste as an apprentice in a renowned trading company "Binenfeld". The company sent him to Aden, Yemen, atthetime important trading center of a East India Company in Arabia. There he started to learn foreign languages, including Arabic. Upon his return from Aden, Breyer continued his education in Trieste, Vienna, Leipzig, Munchen and Hamburg. He studied commerce. In 1890 he returned to Križevci. From 1890 to 1893 he wrote poems for "Narodni list" Zadar (Peoples daily). Breyer moved to Zagreb in 1903. He spent his free time reading and collecting antiquities. In 1903, Breyer founded the educational publishing and antique bookstore "Slavenski znastveni antikvarijat" (Slavic research antique store) in Zagreb. He sold the educational publishing bookstore in 1920, which was then renamed to "Jugoslavenska znastvena knjižara d.d." (Yugoslav research bookstore). Breyer keept his antique bookstore until 1928, when it is liquidated. From 1929 to 1940 he was the general manager of a publishing company "Obnova" (Renewal). Under Breyer leadership "Obnova" has published works of prominent Croatian writers such as Vladimir Nazor and Antun Gustav Matoš.[3]

Breyer was supporter of a Jewish assimilation in Croatia, and a longtime member of the Israelites Zagreb community (now Jewish community Zagreb). In 1922 he founded the society "Narodni rad - društvo židovskih asimilanata i anticionista u Hrvatskoj" (Peoples work - Society of Jewish assimilates and anti Zionists in Croatia). Breyers aim was to gather all Croatian and Yugoslav Jews regardless of political view. On numerous occasions he called for Croatian Zionists to join him, and objected them that they should work on their Croatian and Yugoslav patriotism. In 1924, on a second anniversary of society, Breyer again called all the Croatian and Yugoslav Jews to join them in their society. Some of society notable members were; Samuel David Alexander, Šandor Alexander and Vladimir Šterk.[1] During World War II Breyer was imprisoned, as a Jew, at Stara Gradiška concentration camp for six months. Later he was imprisoned two more times. During his incarceration he wrote a poem "U sabirnom logoru" (In the internment camp). He managed to survive the Holocaust and after the war he worked as a bibliographer at the "Hrvatski nakladni zavod" (Croatian publishing bureau).Breyer died in Zagreb on 29 December 1946.[2][3]
