Shared guilt knowing of sin

The question I want to discuss; after the anniversary of the liberation of the death camps in Germany after WWII , we were told of the horrors committed there. As I see America following this path I ask where is the divide in the guilt of the acts of the government one supports ? 40’s German was a press suppressor America now knows of the acts and the criminality of the acts of our leaders. Does it require open active support of the crime or as Einstein said “ If I were to remain silent , I would be complicit.”
