Here There Are Blueberries

Here There Are Blueberries is a 2018 play by Moisés Kaufman and Amanda Gronich.

Summary

In 2007, a mysterious Nazi-era photo album, retrieved by a U.S. counterintelligence officer out of a trash can in 1946, arrives at the desk of Rebecca Erbelding, a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. Controversy ensues after said photo album makes headlines while a German businessman sees his own grandfather in one of the photographs online. The play's title is the English translation of the handwritten caption Hier gibt es Blaubeeren, accompanying photos of young women – employed at the Auschwitz concentration camp as auxiliaries – enjoying bowls of blueberries.

The play, under the title The Album: Here There Be Blueberries premiered as a work in progress as part of Miami New Drama 17/18 seasons at the Colony Theatre in 2018. The piece subsequently premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2022 and played at the New York Theatre Workshop in 2024. The NYTW production received a Drama League Award nomination for Outstanding Production of a Play and an Outer Critics Circle Award nomination for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play. In 2025, McCarter Theatre Center launched a national tour of the production, which then traveled to The Wallis Annenberg and Berkeley Rep.
