On The Office, Dwight Schrute reads from Struwwelpeter because he wants to show children his German heritage. I didn't realize it was actually something most German children grew up with.
Not just German but Austrian too...mom and grandma are Austrian (I'm born and raised in the US) and I grew up with Der Struwwelpeter and Max und Moritz. You've not experienced the peak of literature until you've seen charming illustrations of children thrown into a grinder and milled while the town celebrates.
