The German people were guilty for supporting Hitler in the first place as a result of their institutional anti-semitism. People had centuries of bloody colonial history to look back on to see what a dangerous, inhuman lie racism is. It seems to me that people simply never learn.
Even the Germans themselves paid dearly for their cowardice. A rich cultural heritage (in literature, art, music, philosophy, the natural sciences) destroyed by a government obsessed with "reviving the German nation" of all people. Everyone lost in the end. It may sound weird, but there is an element of karma to it all.
