Writers Moisés Kaufman and Amanda Gronich discuss the new drama alongside their cast.
In 2007, a mysterious album featuring Nazi-era photographs arrived at the desk of a US Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. As curators unraveled the shocking truth behind the images, the album soon made headlines and ignited a debate that reverberated far beyond the museum walls.
Based on real events, Here There Are Blueberries at the Barrymore Theatre is about historical photographs and what they reveal about the perpetrators of the Holocaust and humanity.
Here, the cast and creative team tell us about this true story.
