Because nobody actually understood what was going on in hitler's final solution until after the allies took Berlin. They were aware that Jews were being murdered, but nobody actually understood the horror that was going on. The main objective was to stop Hitler from taking over Europe, not to save the Jews. If the allied powers were fully aware of what Hitler was doing, I'm sure they would of done something about it MUCH sooner.
The reality is, that the Western Allied powers were aware of a mass-murder campaign by the Nazis against the Jews by no later than early 1943. For a variety of political, military, and practical reasons (not all of which are morally justifiable in hindsight), the Allies chose to do nothing specific to slow down the Holocaust, feeling instead that the goal of defeating Germany as fast as possible was the best way to help everyone.
In truth, while there were certainly some things that the Allies could have done to decrease the number of victims that the Holocaust claimed by the time that Germany was defeated, there was absolutely nothing that they could have done to STOP the Holocaust. The Nazi regime was dedicated to carrying out the Holocaust, and was even willing to sacrifice military necessity in favor of continuing the Holocaust. The Allies were not able to effectively destroy the machinery of the Holocaust, and there was immense institutional willpower inside the Nazi regime to continuing the Holocaust, so the idea that it could be stopped in any manner other than which it was (i.e. by defeating Germany as a whole), is not plausible.
