(AFP) Jose Arturo Cardenas - Moritz Hochschild, a Jewish immigrant to Bolivia who made a fortune mining tin, saved 10,000 Jews from Hitler's gas chambers during World War II. Hochschild became one of Bolivia's three "tin barons" in the early part of the 20th century. Journalist and writer Veronica Ormachea points to a 1940 letter from Hochschild to James Rosenberg, a Jew living in New York. In it, Hochschild says he's managed to transport to Bolivia "between 9,000 and 10,000" Jews and that his plan, which had the support of Bolivia's military leader of the time, was to bring 30,000 people to the country. With help from two of Hochschild's companies, the Jews arriving in Bolivia were given farm work in the coca-growing region of Yungas, east of La Paz. Ormachea says Hochschild used his fortune to help Jews by providing passports, transport, food and the start of a new life in Bolivia.2018-11-02 00:00:00Full Article
