Okay...they didn’t say anything about that in the documentary. :) I’ll have to go find the name of it...think I watched it on Netflix.

The Amber Room may be on that train.

I have to say, based on looking at the photo on Wikipedia, that I do not like the Amber Room. Appreciate the work that went into it, but I could not stand to stay in it for more than 2 minutes. Too much going on there for my taste.

They know without a doubt if they accurately teach history then their support would fade away.

I was shocked when my daughters were in high school (15 years ago) that the Vietnam War had only a paragraph in their History text book. I think World War II had one page.

What people wrote about it is that it was dazzling to the eyes and senses in that the sun, reflected light and candle light would hit the room in certain ways that when walking in it the amber would glisten and sparkle in such a way to appear that the room was alive and moving.

It was also full of carvings that tell a long history. So it’s a jewel, an art, a book and a wonder all at once.

I guess one has to see it to understand why people went on about it so much.

Certainly a good web search would describe the Amber Room to the curious far better than my attempts.

I would guess it was hard to find enough amber and enough artisans to carve it for the modern reproduction.

Would not be surprised if the original is hidden in a secret room in the Kremlin or in one of Putin’s dachas.

You know, the painting in Madrid reminds me of something I heard years ago. One of the reasons Hitler and his bankers launched the Austrian, Czech and then Polish invasions when they did was from running out of foreign exchange currency for their overseas purchases. They seized the cash and gold reserves of every invaded nation and then made the occupied use scrip or Reichmarks. Oil, rubber, tungsten, aluminum,food and so forth had to be procured from somewhere. Besides currency and gold they could peddle artwork to wealthy foreign collectors.

BTW, I sure hope that the new Amber Room is real amber and not painted plaster or something.

I don’t exactly see people like Yeltsin or Putin being on a George Washington level of honesty.

The NAZI Gestapo confiscated all their belongs when they captured them and transported them to concentration camps.

Except for the valuables George Soros was allowed to keep as payment for fingering his fellow Jews to the Nazis in Hungary.

From the Telegraph article: The legend goes that as the Nazis treated from the Red Army in 1945, several tons of gold held in the German city of Breslau (now Wrocław in Poland) were piled onto a train. Reports state the train may contain the gold fittings from the Amber Room of Frederick I of Prussia - considered the Eigth Wonder of the World. However, the train never reached its destination and went missing in south-west Poland. If this has indeed been found in the countryside around Walbrzych, it would be of priceless value and one of the most important historical discoveries ever.
