Dear friends, I have a problem.

I am reading The Scarlet Pimpernel, and I have come across a sentence that I cannot make out at all. If you would be so good in helping me to decipher it?

"Her very soul recoiled in horror from these excesses, to which she feared her brother Armand--moderate republican as he was--might become one day the holocaust."

:;puts powers of shakespearean deduction to the test::

"The executions and other terrifying shit going down scared her so much she was afraid her brother Armand--who, while moderate, still sympathized with republican politics--would join the killing."

that's my read, anyways.
