Become the reckoning. Profound.

Decades ago, there was an attempt to publish a book that included testimonies of female Hol.ocaust victims reporting rape at the hands of other dea.th camp prisoners.

Auschwitz survivor and historian Primo Levi took enough flak simply reporting first hand experience of prisoners snitching on and ab.using other prisoners without mentioning rape. In The Drowned and the Saved, he makes many memorable points, one of which is that turning victims on each other was part of planned dehumanization by the Na.zis.

Because one particularly diabolical expression of racism is to demand victims have not just moral parity to any other group of people in order to "deserve" justice but moral superiority, there's a tendency of marginalized groups to circle wagons and deny internal problems. Go and try to find a copy if that book of Jewish women's testimonies. Those who censored the book internally probably felt they were protecting their own, but in the larger scheme, it was a service rendered to the original perpetrators, a continuation.
