VOICED : El Schindler de Bolivia que salvo a miles de judios

Mauricio Hochschild, known as the Schindler of Bolivia, was a German Jewish immigrant who saved thousands of Jewish families from the Holocaust by providing them employment in his mining company. Despite facing challenges due to the diverse backgrounds of the immigrants, Hochschild's efforts were significant. His secretive actions were revealed through discovered documents, now recognized by UNESCO. Bolivia's open-door policy during the war is appreciated, but the Jewish community has dwindled from 15,000 in the 1940s to 500 today. A museum aims to preserve this history, acknowledging Hochschild's crucial role.
