There is no unified response from Buddhists concerning the Holocaust. Certainly Buddhism, as a religious institution condemns massacring people, so there is little in the way of Buddhist apologetics for the Holocaust, but most Buddhist leaders represent the ideologies of their countries more than those strictly of the religion.
The Dalai Lama has spoken out against Holocaust Denial and discussed this at length with numerous Jewish Leaders. It is a comparable situation in his mind (though to a much more violent degree) to the repression that Tibetan Buddhists face against Chinese occupation.
Japanese Leaders during and after World War II (most of whom were Buddhist) lamented the Holocaust, although admittedly for different reasons. During the War, they believed in the Protocols of Zion and saw the Jews as a powerful instrument that they could manipulate in their attempts to take over the world. Therefore, slaughtering them would be nonsensical when instead their trust should be gained. After the War, the Holocaust resounds in the Japanese mind as being similar to the Atomic Bombings and Firebombings of Japan.
