Here There Are Blueberries, presented by Berkeley Repertory Theatre, scrutinizes the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp through a unique lens. Instead of highlighting the victims, playwrights Moises Kaufman and Amanda Gronich delve into the lives of the Nazis who ran the camp. This compelling 90-minute production, set within the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, creatively employs the Hocker album as a backdrop, revealing ordinary lives intertwined with horrific deeds. By examining these individuals, the play evokes critical reflections on the impact of racism and dehumanization in society, showcasing a haunting narrative of lost morality.
