Released in December 1918, The Heart of Humanity is a silent war epic directed by Allen Holubar. Starring Dorothy Phillips as a Red Cross nurse and Erich von Stroheim as a villainous Prussian officer, the film served as potent anti-German propaganda. It is infamous for a shocking scene where von Stroheim’s character throws a crying infant out a window. This visceral portrayal of wartime atrocities solidified von Stroheim’s reputation as "The Man You Love to Hate."
