| 88. OF course you are not personally responsible for the problem. |

But it is a case of being a good german. Very few germans were involved in baking Jews (etc) like biscuits. But many of them should have known or should have been able to figure it out.
The fact that they didn't shouldn't lead them to a clear conscience. The signals were all there and the best people to figure it out were the professionals involved. But their either didn't, didn't bother, or were actually the crooks themselves. Sure your little part of the scam was innocent as far as that goes, but didn't you think to yourself at some point, "man, this is pretty weird and wild shit happening." Or did you just cash the checks and whistle while you baked, so to speak?
Ask a german about nazi's and the shame that came out of that country after WW2 lead to reforms and amendments on their constitution that made it almost impossible for them to act as the aggressors ever again. The german people, in collective shame of being "good" germans made sure of that. Compared to post nazi Germany the US has it's collective head stuck ... in the sand.
This is just a perspective. I don't think anyone here holds you personally responsible for the mess, but you are responsible for not sounding the alarm, or trying to steer folks in the right direction or something. WE ALL ARE.
