Allies knowledge of Holocaust

Please forgive me if this is in the wrong place.

I have just read Morse's post in "What are You Reading at the Moment", Official Secrets by Richard Breitman and have to confess that I have yet to summon up the courage to read much about the holocaust. He does prompt me to ask two questions though:-

Firstly, when did Churchill make the speech from which he quotes, or more importantly when do you think the Allies really did know what was happening? Or for that matter the Church?

Secondly have people really suggested that the allies should have bombed the camps? I just cringe at the thought that this was viewed (presumably with hindsight) as an humanitarian alternative, besides not appreciating how big a PR coup it would have been for Hitler.

I'd be really interested to hear all of your views.
