We can play that game and say that there were Jews who were complicit in the Soviet Union's Crimes when they occupied their portion of Poland.

You are entering this conversation late, so I will spare you the confusion and explain that this debate is about whether or not the Poles were complicit in the Holocaust for not doing anything about the concentration camps "in their neighborhood."

What would you have them do? Just giving a Jewish person some water could result in that person and their entire family being put to death. Poland was the only country where this was the case.

War brings out the best and the worst of the human condition. Some Poles were admirable, some were opportunistic and eagerly took advantage of the situation, and the vast majority just tried to do whatever they could to survive a situation that neither you nor I have any idea what it truly must have been like.
