AbstractFor more than 50 years, treasure hunters have searched Europe in vain for the priceless amber mosaics carted off by Nazi soldiers during the war. Russians have long mourned the loss of the jeweled chamber and have worked for 18 years to recreate what they regard as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." Then last month, two works believed to be part of the historic room surfaced for the first time in more than half a century. A stone mosaic and a lacquered wooden chest of drawers were discovered in Germany in the hands of private owners. Darin: ‘A gigantic piece of jewelry’
Search mounted for years
