Hi
The Germans had a long history of antisemitism even before world war two.The second world war marked the extermination of 6 million Jews.Although some Germans were good people it is correct to say the German nation in its entirety was guilty of the extermination of the Jews.First because the Nazis rise to power was the result of a German vox populi.Second because even if you didn't do anything you are still guilty.Bystanders can be considered guilty for "in order for evil to prevail good men must do nothing".
This bystanding ecuation can be applied to the whole world as none of the nations of the world at that time accepted to give refuge to the Jews.
However it would be a mistake to blame the current generations for the Holocaust.A son cannot be blamed for his son mistakes.
If anything the holocaust should be studied and we must make sure something like that never happens!
Hope this answers your question
