The amber facade

Adrian Levy, Catherine Scott-Clark, 2004. The Guardian, 22 May 2004.

Extract from the book: Kuchumov's 1941 diary (the panels shattered when moved, so the room was papered over), his March 1946 Königsberg mission, the three burned mosaics found "covered in three layers of ash" in the Knights' Hall, the January 1945 letter about evacuation to Saxony, and the secret digs of 1949 to 1958.
