There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a trai n for Koni gsberg, which was at a tim e a Germ an city on the Balti c Sea. After that, what happened to the Am ber Room rem ai ns a m ystery.

An opi ni on i s what som eone beli eves is true but has not been proved. So an opinoion is not good evidence in a trail . For exampl e, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are beter pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficul t to prove. Some peopl e may not agree with this opinion but they al so cannot prove that they are ri ght. In a trail , a judge m ust deci de whi ch eyewi tnesses to bel i eve and which not to bel i eve. The judge does not consi der what each eyewitness l oks l ike or where that person l ives or works.

But he i s al so bi g i n a di fferent way — he fights hard to protect China’s past. H is real name is Feng Jicai and he has written many novels about l ife in China. Several years ago, however, he put down hi s pen for a whi l e and began to protect the cl tural reli cs i n Ti anji n, where he li ves. O nce som eon asked him why he no l onger wrote.

It was i n 1952 and Mandel a was the bl ack l awyer to whom I went for advice. He offered gui dance to poor bl ack peopl e on thei r l egal problem s. H e was generous wi th hi s tim e, for whi ch I was grateful. I needed his hel p because I had very l i tl e educati on. I began school at si x. The schol where I studi ed for only two years was three ki l om eters away. I had to l eave because my fami l y coul d not conti nue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I coul d not read or wri te wel. After tryi ng hard, I got a job i n a gol d mi ne. H owever, this was a tim e when one had to got to have a pasbook to l ive i n Johannesburg. Sadl y I di d not have i t because I was not born there, and I worri ed about whether I woul d be e out of work. The day when N el son Mandel a hel ped m e was one of m y happi est.

Bl ack peopl e coul d not vote or choose thei r l eaders. They coul d not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town i n whi ch they had to l i ve were deci ded by whi te peopl e. The pl aces outsi de the towns where they were sent to li ve were the poorest parts of South Afri ca. N o one coul d grow food there,. In fact as Nel son Mandel a sai d: “… We were put i nto a positi on i n whi ch we had ei ther to accept we were l es i m portant, or fi ght the governm ent. We chose to attack the laws.
