"So the Normandy Landings had nothing to do with stopping the Holocaust? "

That is correct!

The goal was to destroy the German war machine and defeat Hitler, not save the Jews.

By June 6, 1944 the Holocaust had been underway for 6 years.

There were opportunities to disrupt railways and the death camps, but the Allies did not seize the opportunity!

America turned away refugees.

FDR was complicit in the Holocaust.

So then the Nazis would have just shot the Jews instead of gassing them....plus those acts wouldn't have shortened the war. Better to use those resources towards destroying the Nazi war machine, and bring a quicker conclusion to the war.

Hindsight is 20/20, although we knew what the Nazis were doing to the Jews in 1938, keep in mind, anti-semitism was not unique to Nazi Germany , it was a European national pastime, so it was not considered to be all that out of line with what occurred in many other European countries.
