Ever wondered what N**i officers did when they weren't on duty? In 2007, a rare album came into our Museum's collection showing how they actually spent their free time at Auschwitz.

Watch to see the real history—and the real people—that inspired the play Here There Are Blueberries, opening on Broadway November 9 at the Barrymore Theatre.

He was executed at 17 for protesting the N**i regime.
Helmuth Hübener, a devout Mormon, was a teenager when the N***s came to power in Germany. Angered by the rise of violence and hatred towards Jews, Helmuth refused to stay silent.

At 16, he began secretly listening to banned radio broadcasts, using the news to write and distribute his own anti-N**i messages. With the help of three friends, he distributed thousands of resistance flyers.

“Do not allow your free will, the most precious thing you possess, to be taken away from you,” wrote Helmuth in a leaflet.

In 1942, a coworker betrayed Helmuth. He was arrested, tortured, and put on trial. On October 27, 1942, Helmuth Hübener was executed. He was the youngest resistance member sentenced to death by the N**i courts.

He buried the truth so the world could find it.

The N***s forced Henryk Ross from his home into the Łódź ghetto along with thousands of other Jews. There, he worked as an official photographer for the authorities.

Henryk used that position to secretly document the hunger, disease, and death around him, risking his life to do so. As the ghetto was being destroyed, he buried thousands of his photographs, hoping they would survive even if he didn't.

After the war, he dug them back up. The images became undeniable proof of what happened.
