"The Human Files" presents an impressive story about the previously little known activities of the Nazi anthropologists of the Section on Race and Ethnicity Research of the Institut für Deutsche Ostarbeit, working in Cracow during the Second World War. Colour photographs, the "anthropologists'' measurement forms, psychological tests, hair in envelopes and fingerprints. Over half a century later, the people who had been forced to submit to this research could see their images and other materials collected about them. A significant ingredient of the film is also the correspondence of the researchers and their research results.
