Here There Are Blueberries

An album of never-before-seen World War II-era photographs arrives at the desk of United States Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist Rebecca Erbelding. As Rebecca and her team of historians begin to unravel the shocking story behind the images, the album soon makes headlines around the world. In Germany, a businessman sees the album online and recognizes his own grandfather in the photos. He begins a journey of discovery that will take him into the lives of other Nazi descendants – in a reckoning of his family’s past and his country’s history. Here There Are Blueberries tells the story of these photographs and what they reveal about the Holocaust and our own humanity.
Authors’ Note: This play is told in text and images. It cannot exist without both. In this form, the images operate like characters in the play: They carry part of the narrative, elicit emotional responses from the audience, and become an integral part of the fabric of the story.
