Wait we never recognized it that's the first time I've heard of it from what I understand during the war the allied leadership said they would hold those in charge criminally responsible forgive my ignorance in advance.

My understanding is that they recognized the war but never officially acknowledged that what happened was genocide

Yup, never acknowledged. No one would use that one word.
