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 ra

n outside. The sound came from a

mine that hadn’t been used for a lo

ng 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 du

ring the war. At that time the city was

still called Königsberg, its German na

me. I heard about the Nazis stealing

many treasures from Russia and brin

ging 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 s

ailor from Hamburg, Germany. Du

ring the war I worked on a ship. It

was at the Baltic Sea port of Königs

berg in January, 1945. I was told to

help our soldiers put some big wood

en boxes with treasures onto the shi

p.

Then the ship went out to sea. Before w

e could reach the next port, a Russian s

ub* sank the ship. I had to swim three k

ilometres until a German boat saved me.

Most people on the ship were not so luc

ky. 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 i

n the sand. Now a group of people who a

re searching for the Amber Room has as

ked me to help them find the ship.
