I wouldn't have said bombing the camps but certainly the facilities leading up to them, or even just as part of the overall disruption plan for the German war effort.

What is interesting is the fact that the trians were still being commendered and used for the holocaust when they were urgently needed to move troops and equpment by the armed services.

If not halting the killings in the camps, they would certainly have slowed them down. If the Jews could not be transported to the camps then they would have to have had to have been left in the ghettos. OK, so the conditions there were terrible, and the Germans would have carried on killing them. But it would have been slower, and the bombings wouldn't have affected the Allied war effort that much. So the due process of liberation may have caught up and over run the Jews in the ghettos rather than camps, or in the pits.
