## Summary

“Here There Are Blueberries”, a Broadway play by Moisés Kaufman and Amanda Gronich, examines photographs of Nazi officers and their families relaxing near Auschwitz. The images challenge familiar ways of presenting Holocaust history by showing perpetrators’ ordinary home lives alongside the camp’s atrocities.

The play centres on a photo album donated to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2007, whose pictures rarely show the camp or its prisoners. Archivist Rebecca Erbelding investigates the album, while German man Tilman Taube recognises his grandfather in some images and helps researchers explore who assembled it and what the people pictured knew. The production runs for 90 minutes without an interval at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.
