A Jewish immigrant to Bolivia is responsible for saving 10 times as many lives during the Holocaust than Oskar Schindler, who became the inspiration for the Oscar-winning Hollywood blockbuster "Schindler's List."

That's according to Bolivian journalist and writer Veronica Ormachea.

Ormachea says Moritz Hochschild, who made a fortune mining in neighboring Peru, saved some 10,000 Jews from Hitler’s gas chambers during WWII.

Americas Now's Dan Collyns spoke to the son of a Jewish survivor, historians and Veronica Ormachea about what she discovered about the man who kept Bolivia’s doors open to Jews fleeing persecution in Europe while other South American countries kept them shut.
