That's silly I don't have a separate morality, than anyone else including you.
If we scanned our brains when thinking of the holocaust, and draw the conclusions that it was bad, I'd expect it to travel through the same neuropathways.
The basis of the recognition of the holocaust is wrong is the same. And doesn't change as a the result of whatever peculiar moral theory or philosophy you subscribe too.
We both recognize that it's objectively wrong. Now maybe you'll say that you did so, because you have some definition of wrong, based on your particular moral theory that you currently subscribe to, and you took the holocaust and applied the criteria of that definition, to derive that it was wrong.
But that's complete horseshit. You're only apply your criteria after the fact, after you've already recognized it as wrong. You may strongly believe otherwise, but you're just fooling yourself.
There is something wrong (in the amoral sense) about believing the Holocaust is wrong simply because it's not in line with the Good. When pressed to answer what is it that makes the Holocaust wrong, I am driven to appeal to something about the Holocaust act itself, not to something about Good/God.
