"Here There Are Blueberries," directed by Moisés Kaufman, is a powerful documentary theater piece that scrutinizes the banality of evil as it examines the chilling context behind a collection of photographs from Auschwitz. Set in a hauntingly designed environment, the narrative follows an archivist, Delia Cunningham, who reveals uncomfortable truths about the concentration camp's personnel while grappling with the unsettling duality of their lives. It highlights the stark contrast between everyday joys of the camp workers and the horrific reality they facilitated, illustrating that for some, Auschwitz was merely a job rather than a site of atrocity.
"The nature of guilt proves elusive as the archivists learn of the river chalet, a lovely little lodge where a cadre of young, industrious camp administrators went to rest and recharge."
"This documentary theater gem, a 2024 Pulitzer finalist, unearths bloody history we forget at our peril."
