LISTENING TEXT No one knows exactly what happened to the Amber Room. A few people say that they were eyewitnesses who saw where the Amber Room was hidden. Listen to their stories.

1. Hello, I’m Jan Hasek, an old miner from the Czech Republic. In April, 1945 I heard something explode at midnight. I got up from bed and ran outside. The sound came from a mine that hadn’t been used for a long time.

The war still had not reached my town. Suddenly, I saw some German soldiers! I could see them clearly in the bright light of the full moon. They were taking wooden boxes from trucks and putting them in the mine. Later, one of my friends told me that treasures were inside the boxes.

A week later, I decided to have a look for myself. To my surprise, all the holes in the mine were filled! Now, I own a little restaurant near the mine. Some people are looking for the treasure. They say the Amber Room and some gold are buried in the mine.

The mayor of a German town across the stream is also looking for the treasure. He says a Nazi soldier told him where to find it. Ha! That was ten years ago and still no luck!

2. Hello, my name is Anna Petrov. I was a maid at the castle in Kaliningrad during the war. At that time the city was still called Königsberg, its German name. I heard about the Nazis stealing many treasures from Russia and bringing them here.

Just before Christmas in 1941, many trucks came to the castle at night. The German soldiers would not let us see what they were doing. We were told never to tell anyone the secret. The next spring, a German professor began to show special visitors this art

treasure. But I never saw it. Later, all the Russian workers had to leave the castle. Then, at the end of August, 1944 I heard something explode. When I looked outside I saw fires from the castle. The next morning, I found a few melted pieces of something that looked

like honey. When the Russian soldiers came, they found burnt Pieces of something. They said they were from the Amber Room.

3. Ya, hello. I am Hans Braun, an old sailor from Hamburg, Germany. During the war I worked on a ship. It was at the Baltic Sea port of Königsberg in January, I was told to help our soldiers put some big wooden boxes with treasures onto the ship.

Then the ship went out to sea. Before we could reach the next port, a Russian sub* sank the ship. I had to swim three kilometres until a German boat saved me. Most people on the ship were not so lucky. Later, I read that 5,400 people died. There are few survivors.

More people died than on the Titanic-ya, terrible. So those boxes must be buried in the sand. Now a group of people who are searching for the Amber Room has asked me to help them find the ship. sub = submarine
