I mean, maybe no one in the US ever found out about the Holocaust until after the war was over, but that seems unlikely.

Check your history again, please. The Holocaust wasn't general knowledge until well into WWII.

By the point the US got involved, though, which is the event she would be stopping if she survived, it was known.

It wasn't really general knowledge, I don't think. It was general knowledge that the Nazis were being major assholes to the Jews and that it was an anti-Semitic regime that was persecuting the Jews, but the actual "enormous and intentional program of extermination" part, not so much, and certainly not the details and the extent of it. Some people may have had intimations, but it was not general knowledge, certainly not in 1941 or '42.

The thing is that the Holocaust is a separate thing from the broader persecution of Jews. The Jews were being persecuted, yes, for a long time. And there were already pogroms in some of the occupied territories. But the Holocaust isn't just the persecution of the Jews, it's the organized attempt to exterminate them, mostly by rounding them up and taking them to concentration camps. And that really doesn't get started until late 1941, and not really as an organized, coherent thing until 1942. I mean, the Wannsee Conference doesn't even take place until January 1942 - a month after the US was already at war in OTL.

So it seems unlikely that she could have known that the Holocaust was going on. She could have known that the Nazis were pretty awful people, but that's different. And in that context, I think you can still admire a pure and fervent desire for peace, even if it's ultimately misguided.

I think you could also interpret it that delaying the entry into World War 2 was more about the strength of the popular movement she built, and less about her specific political choices, if that helps you at all.
