The Birth of a Race（1918）

Equality across the centuries: the creation of the world, the Flood, the crucifixion of Christ, the discovery of America, the Declaration of Independence, the Civil War. Democracy is threatened by the autocratic powers of Europe during the First World War, represented in the tragic fate of the German-American Schmidt family and the merciless struggle between its two brothers, Oscar, a German soldier for the Kaiser, and George, fighting for the Allies.
