Only individuals can be guilty; people who share immutable characteristics cannot be collectively guilty because there will always be good people who resist evil. We each choose whether to do good or evil.
Back then, whatever then, whenever then, some folks did what was right, some folks didn't. Also some, many, folks did things they thought was right when it wasn't. They don't need our praise or condemnation.
I'm grateful that we are, and that since they were, we are, but they don't need nor want our thanks.
For those that follow, we don't need their thanks, I just hope they made as good, or hopefully, a better world than the one we now enjoy.

I don’t know who to credit with “pride goeth before the fall.
To give without consideration for the cost to one’s’ self.....true love.
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."
Proverbs 16:18
Much more could be said. My only comment now is "no." No to the sentiment. No to the false... nevermind. This is your blog.
