discuss hans lecture to diesel about max?can you compare it to anything?

Hans tells Liesel in no uncertain terms that she must never tell anyone about Max. Hans explains in detail what would happen if she did: Hans would burn Liesel's books, Liesel would be taken away, and Hans, Rosa, and Max would all be taken away and never return. Liesel cries uncontrollably.

I have no experiences to compare this to...... how about you?
