‘Hope’: ‘Schindler’s List’ Actor Jochen Nickel Stars in Eerie New Video

Schindler’s List actor Jochen Nickel stars in PETA Germany‘s latest video, “Hope”. In the role of grandfather, Jochen walks with his grandson around abandoned ruins and through dark relics of the past while raising some pressing questions about humanity.

What would the world look like if we took lessons from the past to heart?

At the end of the short but powerful video, the pair leaves the ruins and walks together into a peaceful sun-drenched field as the grandfather tells his grandson, “I’m guilt and conscience. And you … you are hope”.

Each of us has the capacity to wake up, learn from past mistakes and realise that every heart feels. Will you be our hope?
