The Broadway show “Here There Are Blueberries” is proud to present “Widening the Lens,” a series of postshow conversations throughout its engagement.How do we tell the truth about the past without allowing it to become merely the past? Daniel Mendelsohn, acclaimed author of The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million, joins legendary filmmaker Ken Burns and Dr. Rebecca Erbelding, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum historian, for a conversation about history, memory, and the power of storytelling. Moving from archival evidence and family testimony to documentary film and the Broadway stage, they examine how the Holocaust is retold for each new generation—and the profound responsibility storytellers assume when they turn history into narrative. At its heart is the question that gives history its urgency: What can the past teach us about how we choose to live now?
This conversation will take place immediately following the Thursday, January 7, performance. A ticket to this performance is required for attendance.
“Widening the Lens” is curated by Tectonic Theater Project in collaboration with the “Here There Are Blueberries” content and conversation partner, FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics), and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
