I have been haunted the entire time reading this, and I suspect forever after. I don't think I'll ever find the words that this is essential reading for everyone, I don't think I'll find the words that people need to sit in the discomfort, pain and anguish, that this is a horror story but it is not fantasy by any stretch of the imagination.
The horror is that this happened, the DNA of these horrors is still alive in people, and we cannot look away.
