In 2007, a photo album containing previously unseen images from the Nazi era arrives at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The discovery prompts an investigation into the photographs’ origins, the people depicted and the historical events they document. As the images attract international attention, researchers uncover evidence that raises questions about the perpetrators of the Holocaust and the role of ordinary people within the Nazi regime.
Here There Are Blueberries is written by Moisés Kaufman and Amanda Gronich and conceived and directed by Kaufman. The production comes from Tectonic Theater Project, known for The Laramie Project, and was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama.
Based on historical events, the play follows the investigation into the album and the process of establishing the identities and circumstances behind the photographs. It examines how archival images can reveal details about the Holocaust and the people who participated in or witnessed its atrocities.
