Husband-and-wife journalistic team Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark have solved the mystery of what happened to the amber room, the famed art treasure thought to have been looted by the Nazis during the Second World War. Carved out of almost 1,000 pounds of amber, the room symbolizes Russian loss during WWII. Ironically, the amber room was a gift from the Prussians to Peter the Great in 1716. Sleuths have spent fifty years trying to find the room, before Levy and Scott-Clark found out what happened to it. They join guest Host Patt Morrison to talk about their book, The Amber Room: The Untold Story of the Greatest Hoax of the Twentieth Century.
