About the Show

Unveil the haunting truth of Nazi-era photographs in a gripping tale of humanity and history.

In 2007, a collection of Nazi-era photographs, shrouded in mystery, landed on the desk of a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. As experts delved into the images, a shocking narrative emerged, sparking widespread attention and a profound debate about the Holocaust's perpetrators and humanity's conscience. Based on these real events, 'Here There Are Blueberries' narrates the poignant story encapsulated within the photographs, offering profound insights into history and human nature. Crafted by the esteemed Tectonic Theater Project, led by the acclaimed director Moisés Kaufman and co-writer Amanda Gronich, this production has been hailed for its masterful execution, resonating with audiences through its poignant exploration of a dark chapter in history.

Thoughtful, Resonant, Poignant, Unembellished, Absorbing

See it if Tectonic keeps it fresh. Another landmark docudrama from the best. U love museums, libraries, archives. Emotions controlled but intense.

Don't see it if prefer fiction only, or to “do your own research” by scanning 2 wikis, joining a subreddit, & foregoing contact with primary sources Read more

Profound, Intelligent, Great acting, Epic, Absorbing

See it if want a show that dives into history, who and when ppl are complicit in war crimes, and how we glue the pieces of the past together.

Don't see it if want a feel-good drama or comedy. This is a dry docudrama and you have to be in the right headspace to appreciate it.
