You know that opening scene in Inglourious Basterds? With the French dairy farmer who's hiding innocent Jews under his floor boards but here come a nazi officer here to ask him questions?
Do you know any books that might emotionally feel like that a lot of the time? The secret can be anything, like maybe a prisoner hiding their escape plans or someone going many extra steps to hide that they lied on their resume so they don't get fired.

The Sisters of Auschwitz by Roxanne van Iperen matches this vibe. It’s based on a true story and not a lighthearted read.
It is 1940 and the Final Solution is about to begin. The Nazis have occupied The Netherlands but resistance is growing and two Jewish sisters – Janny and Lien Brilleslijper – are risking their lives to save those being hunted, through their clandestine safehouse ‘The High Nest’. It becomes one of the most important safehouses in the country but when the house and its occupants are betrayed the most terrifying time of the sisters’ lives begins.

The One Man by Andrew Gross. Basically, a guy needs to break into a concentration camp to rescue one guy. Very tense and a great story.
