Switzerland is not blameless. During WW11 the Swiss acted as bankers to the Nazis for their stolen Jewish assets. After the war, the Swiss banks held onto this stolen gold and it took more than 60 years for them to start acknowledging this theft and making very belated restitution. The Swiss have little to be proud of when it comes to their war record.
