What reading level is Now I Know book?

But gold, being valuable and not easily traced, is very difficult to regulate. (Indeed, that is probably where its true value comes from.) Hitler’s edict was, in almost all cases, unenforceable.
One exception? Nobel Prize medals.
Before 1980, the medals given by Sweden (all of them except the Nobel Peace Prize—that award is given by Norway) were made of 600 grams of 23-karat gold—and therefore subject to Hitler’s export ban.

This proved uniquely dangerous for two physics laureates, Max von Laue (winner, 1914) and James Franck (1925), both Germans. When World War II began, the two entrusted the Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark (the research institution of fellow physics laureate Neils Bohr) with the safekeeping of their medals, assuming that Nazi soldiers would have otherwise confiscated their prizes. When Nazi troops invaded Denmark, they raided the Institute. Had von Laue’s and Franck’s medals been discovered, the consequences would most likely have been dire.
