About the Show

A mysterious photo album uncovers hidden truths about the Holocaust and those behind it.

In 2007, an archivist at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum received a photo album filled with images from the Nazi era. As curators began to piece together the disturbing reality behind these photographs, their discovery quickly captured global attention and sparked profound debate.

Here There Are Blueberries, based on true events, examines what these photographs reveal—not only about the perpetrators of the Holocaust but also about the complexities of human nature.

Alongside the production, audiences can take part in a series of post-show discussions, curated in partnership with FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) and Tectonic Theater Project, where leading ethicists and scholars will reflect on the challenging questions raised by the play.

“This is essential theatre: a production that reminds us of the importance of critical thinking, of sitting with discomfort, and of refusing to shy away from difficult questions; for to do otherwise can lead to devastating consequences.”
