The Holocaust lasted as long as the Nazis were able to pursue that policy. That is, until they were defeated by force of arms in May 1945.
It is debatable how much influence the Allies had on the Holocaust.
By 1944 the Nazis had demanded and received Jews from almost all of the territories over whom they had influence. Most of the death camps had been dismantled and the evidence of their existence hidden. Auschwitz, the largest and last deaht camp had all but stopped gassings in the autumn of 1944, with the last session taking place at the begining of December. The gas chambers were dismantled and sent back to Germany.
The bulk of the murders took place in 1942, when both the gas chambers and the Einsatzgruppen were active, by 1945 when the Allies were advancing on Germany, the Death Marches were the largest cause of death (ironically caused by the allies).
The Holocaust lasted so long because the aims of the Holocaust were not completed, however, the last two and a half years of the Holocaust produced only a third of the number of victims as the previous year.
