Have you ever read a text book? or are you just pulling shit out of your ass. The U.S. entered WWII for more reasons than pearl harbor. The U.S. was at a state of undelcared war as of march 1941. Pearl harbor occured December of 1941.
" In March 1941 the U.S. Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act and appropriated an initial $7 billion to lend or lease weapons and other aid to any countries the president might designate. By this means the U.S. hoped to ensure victory over the Axis without involving its own troops. By late summer of 1941, however, the U.S. was in a state of undeclared war with Germany. In July, U.S. Marines were stationed in Iceland, which had been occupied by the British in May 1940, and thereafter the U.S. Navy took over the task of escorting convoys in the waters west of Iceland. In September President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized ships on convoy duty to attack Axis war vessels."

It is true that pearl harbor might have pushed the us entirely into WWII, but we were involved in combat way before that occurred.
And regarding some of the events of the holocaust. The allied and even most of the axis powers were not completely aware of all Hilter was up to. A lot of concentration camps were not discovered until the war was almost over.
