"Institutions" have no agency. Actions ascribed to them are in
reality the actions of people. The holocaust was not the act of any
institution--it was the act of "big" and "little" people like Hitler,
Eichmann, Demjanjuk--every one of whom was individually morally
responsible just as Obama is individually morally responsible for
every drone murder.
