In fact, most nations were completely ignorant of the genocide until it was largely over. The information that leaked out of Poland and the Soviet bloc in 1942 and 1943 was largely nonexistent, and so horrifying that few people even took it seriously.

No, actually a lot of information was published in the Western press, it wasn’t non-existent, and both the Western Allies and the USSR made public statements about genocide, and specifically about the genocide of the Jews (e.g. see the official Soviet note published on 19.12.1942 which was devoted exclusively to description of the Holocaust).
