From the Nuremberg trials:

...defendant Albert Speer, Hitler's war production minister, said, "This trial is necessary. There is a shared responsibility for such horrible crimes even in an authoritarian state."

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?
Can you give me a specific example of a person still alive whose participation level you think makes them a candidate for war crimes trial? What standard of participation are you using? There were some pretty clear standards set by Nuremberg, I think. most of those people have either died or disappeared, but as found they are tried, and I think that's fair.
