This just calls to mind SUITE FRANCAISE by Irène Némirovsky, which was to be a 5-volume work on the Nazi occupation of France, begun WHILE the occupation was going on–but unfortunately the work never finished, as Némirovsky was one of the Jews (Russian born but living in France since a teenager) rounded up. She died in Auschwitz.
