Bit of a moot point there - I'm not sure that the world knew the extent of the Holocaust until camps were discovered during the war.

  The allies were well aware about the genocide even before 1942 from escapees reports, the Polish underground and reconnaissance and bombing missions. From 1942 to 1943 British intelligence intercepted and decoded radio messages , which included daily prisoner returns and death tolls for ten concentration camps, including Auschwitz.

  That's a common misconception. Most of the world knew very well the Jews were getting murdered en masse and forcefully resettled ( many of them tried to escape and were refused asylum including in the US, and brought their stories). Some resistance movements also brought detailed information. In 1943, the Allies had all the grim details of Auschwitz with the Pilecki report, which was written by a man who voluntarily went undercover there and then escaped to tell the story.
