Italy resisted collaborating (there was no persecution until Germans took over the country late in the war); Spain took in many (while being painted as a Nazi ally when they were in fact neutral).

Many people had no involvement with the murders (there is no defense for those who were involved); painting with a broad brush is no better than what the Nazis did to stir people up with generalizations about Jewish people.

And Denmark , Sweden, Hungary, Finland, Bulgaria...

Permit me to amend my charge, and to clarify. Rather than saying “people OF the occupied countries”, I should have said “(some) people IN the occupied countries”. Plus, being occupied, complicity in the atrocities cannot fairly be attributed as a policy of their governments.

The same cannot be said of the United States, Britain and Switzerland, all of whom turned their backs on Jews who did manage to escape Europe.
