Well-being isn’t part of the answer as to what makes the holocaust wrong for us, we recognize it’s wrong before we’ve even considered wellbeing. Wellbeing is what we use to justify it after the fact.

All this according to your opinion based on your intuition. If your intuition says this all points to God, fine. But this is just your intuition. It's not what the psychological sciences say.

It doesn’t have to point to anything other than the existence of light and darkness. Which is a prevalent perception, acknowledged in variety of religious writings, including Plato: “ We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark, the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." - Plato

Goodness is part light and evil is part of the dark.

I can recognize the holocaust is dark, and most people would understand what I mean by this, even if it’s undefinable in words.
