What Measures to Save a People? 2015

On Herman Lundborg, head of the Swedish State Institute for Race Biology

Directed by Maja Hagerman

The physician and professor Herman Lundborg headed the world’s first state racial biology institute in Uppsala, Sweden, from 1922 to ’35. He was obsessed by the threat of racial mixing between Sámi, Finns and Swedes in the north. On his travels, he is drawn to a woman of Finnish-Sámi descent, and has a child with her.
