That's not what the Mythos was about.

The whole big point of the Holocaust that everyone was supposed to have learned is that not only did one not have to be a "Nazi" (or even particularly sympathize with the regime or its ideology) in order to be an active or passive collaborator.

All you had to do was keep your head down, and do what you were told.
