...would the Holocaust and other abuses of human rights on the German people be a good enough reason to invade Nazi Germany?

In theory, but in practice we never seem to invade developed (or even developing) nations over human rights violations. It tends to be undeveloped nations where we eventually intervene. Also keep in mind that Nazi Germany is *why* we're theoretically inclined to intervene now. Prior to that we didn't have a convention in place. (And, in practice, we *don't* respond until it's much too late -- like how Clinton pushed to keep the US and UN out of the Rwandan Genocide and how we're not doing much to stop a genocide in Myanmar)

Isn't worse happening in parts of the world right now, and nobody is doing anything about it?

Uhhhh, kinda no because nothing happening is on par with the Holocaust. There's certainly genocide going on right now that isn't being tackled, but it's nothing as egregious.
