No, those "good" people did not remain silent. They put their lives on the line to stop the evil. The silent ones were too fearful of being executed; it takes a special soul to stick their neck out to save the lives of others at the peril of their own.

We are in agreement; that's the reason for my use of quotation marks around the word good. My point was that in order to be good, it required voicing an objection, which as you point out, was a risk that led to imprisonment or execution.
