The same way the people who loaded the trains or drove them are responsible. They're accessories to the process. They knew what the purpose of their jobs was.

These camps were organised and industrious. It required more than just the killers themselves to operate. The whole idea, especially towards the end, was to kill as many people as efficiently as possible. They needed a lot of people to do this and make it work.

A man who was presumably forced to do the role or face harm/death to himself or his family? Put yourselves in that mans shoes what would you do?
Doesn't make a difference. Believe it or not that are many times that you can empathise with people who have done bad things but that doesn't absolve anyone of complicity. I think many people would have done the same as him but they would still be reasonable for it.
