But consider this important point: While it stands to reason that WW2 was almost inevitable after the treaty of Versailles (US and Brit diplomats said as much at the time), the Holocaust was very much evitable.

Had the Communists won the battle for the disgruntled German of the 30s instead of being beaten out by the Nazis, there would not have been a Holocaust but probably still a war.

The holocaust was only a fraction of the victims that died during the war. If there wasn't a holocaust but just mass starvation or more cities getting bombed in wars, etc, it could still be a net loss.
