Portable and expensive, amber has always been a desirable commodity. C.J. Sch ler follows the historic Amber Route from St Petersburg to Venice through three millennia of history.

Sch ler traveled by bus, train and boat for 2,500 kilometers along river valleys, forest paths and Roman roads. His journey traces both the greatest fault lines of European geopolitics and his own family's history. As he explores Romans and Vandals, Teutons and Slavs, empires and the former Iron Curtain, Sch ler must also confront his own family history, Nazism and the Holocaust.
