The historical starting point
The play begins with the Höcker Album, a collection of photographs connected to SS officer Karl Höcker and Auschwitz. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum received the album in 2007 and researched the people and settings shown in it. The images capture Nazi personnel at work and social gatherings, not the crimes themselves.
The play follows the questions that arise from the archive: who appears in the photographs, what can be verified, and how should viewers understand the gap between ordinary leisure and the violence of the Holocaust? The subject is serious and the production treats historical responsibility as a central concern.
Content and tone
Expect references to the Holocaust, Auschwitz, Nazi perpetrators, and archival photographs. This is documentary-style theatre, not a conventional fictional drama. The Broadway League lists the performance at 90 minutes without intermission; check official materials for current audience advisories.

After the performance
The Museum’s collection provides a place to learn more about the album and the historical record. It distinguishes carefully between what the photographs show and what they do not show. That distinction is useful when discussing a play built around images and interpretation.
