Moritz (Mauricio) Hochschild (February 17, 1881 – June 12, 1965) was a leading mining industry businessman in the first half of the twentieth century.

Along with Simón Iturri Patiño and Carlos Víctor Aramayo, he was one of the three so-called Bolivian tin barons.

[1][2] Additionally, he saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust by facilitating their legal admission to Bolivia.

[2][3] Hochschild was born in Biblis, Germany, into a Jewish family[2] which had already been active in the mining industry for over a generation.

[5] After several years in Chile where he worked with his brother Sali Hochschild, he returned to Germany and stayed there until the end of the first World War.

Hochschild also funded the transport of the refugees and their housing once they arrived in the South American country.
