No worse than that of France., whose government WAS complicit in the exportation of the Jews.

France's record was atrocious to be sure, but there are some facts that tend to get muddled. First of all, yes, if you were an alien Jew living in France, you were pretty much doomed, but 75% of French-born Jews did actually survive the war, a much higher figure than most of the other occupied countries. And the Vichy regime was led to believe that the Jews they were sending to the East were being sent to Family camps, at least in the beginning, they really didn't know the fate they were consigning them to, to them they were merely dumping their "alien" Jews. Again a horrible crime, but it needs to be put in some context.
