We are excited to share that we have organized a special theater trip available for KTA members, for the Sunday December 20 matinee of the acclaimed play Here There are Blueberries, with a special talk with USHMM Director Sara Blumenfeld after the show.
In 2007, a mysterious album of Nazi-era photographs arrives at the desk of a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. The photographs aren’t like any that have been seen before. As curators unravel the truth behind the images, the album soon makes headlines and ignites a debate that reverberates far beyond the museum walls. Based on real events, Here There Are Blueberries tells the story of these historical photographs—what they reveal about the perpetrators of the Holocaust, and our own humanity.
From Tectonic Theater Project (The Laramie Project), Here There Are Blueberries has been seen by audiences around the world and finally comes to Broadway for 80 performances only.
Here There Are Blueberries is the Pulitzer Prize Finalist that the Los Angeles Times calls “the greatest detective story ever told.” From Tectonic Theater Project (The Laramie Project), conceived and directed by Moisés Kaufman, and written by Kaufman and Amanda Gronich, Here There Are Blueberries is “riveting” (The Washington Post), “unforgettable” (The Guardian), and “one of the finest new plays of the year” (The Wall Street Journal).
After this performance, there will be a special discussion with Sara Bloomfield, director of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and Jonah Platt: How do we make history matter to people who did not live it? Jonah Platt, actor and host of “Being Jewish with Jonah Platt,” joins Sara Bloomfield, longtime director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, for a vital conversation about the future of Holocaust memory. As the generation of survivors passes away and firsthand testimony becomes history, the responsibility of remembrance shifts to those who come after. Together, Platt and Bloomfield explore how we carry these stories forward, how we reach generations increasingly distant from the Holocaust, and why the act of remembering is not only about preserving the past– it is about shaping the choices we make in the present.
