What reading level is Germany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some of them have refined, melancholy faces that remind you of Rembrandt's Jewish Rabbi in the National Gallery, whUe others look cunning and unwashed. They come from the Danubian Provinces, from Poland, and from East Prussia, where they still herd by themselves, and have little inter- course with Christians, or with the modernized Jews who live in Middle and Western Germany.
They are on a level with the Russian Jews, who still live in Ghettos, follow all the ancient customs, and are barred fro...m progress by ceremony and by super- stition. When a girl marries amongst them, she has to cut oflF all her hair and wear a tight little cap for the rest of her life. If she disobeyed this law she would be an outcast, and subject to terrible social and religious penalties. This is only one of many customs that hedge these people in, and make stories of their lives read like stories of the Middle Ages.
55 CHAPTER X CHRISTMAS There is no nation in the world that makes such a charming feast of Christmas as the Germans do, and it is no exaggeration to say that the ladies of the family spend months in preparing for it.
