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 – what they reveal about the Holocaust and our own humanity.Production Sponsors: The Sheri and Les Biller Family FoundationVivien and Jeffrey ResslerRecipient of an Edgerton Foundation New Play AwardJuly 26 – August 21, 2022Sheila and Hughes Potiker Thea
