A previously unseen photo album from World War II is sent to Rebecca Erbelding, the archives director at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The images show the officers who ran Auschwitz, the deadliest concentration camp in human history. As Rebecca delves into them, a startling story emerges: How do we live an everyday life next to an extermination camp? Soon, the snapshots begin to appear on the front pages of newspapers around the world.
In Germany, a businessman sees them online and recognizes his grandfather in one of them. This leads him on a journey of discovery that will bring him to meet other descendants of Nazis and to confront his family's past.
Blaubeeren tells the story of these photographs, what they reveal about the Holocaust and about our humanity.
"We are in the midst of a pivotal moment in our culture. (...) If we rely on the generations that preceded us, living and benefiting from an unjust system they built, what responsibility do we have, as individuals and as a society, to correct so many wrongs? I want to bring this work to the widest possible audience so that we can learn to recognize this conflict within ourselves, examine our own choices, deal with our shared past, and reimagine our collective future." Moises Kaufman
