I completely and totally agree. I haven't said anything to indicate otherwise. You can hold BOTH individuals AND a society responsible for acts of horror. It's not EITHER/OR.
You still haven't answered my question about whether German citizens who stayed silent as the Holocaust was carried out are accessories to murder? Are they all guilty of genocide? Ought they all face prosecution?
