It makes you wonder if they knew even earlier than that.

Also, if they knew that Jews were being transferred from the ghettos to these concentration camps, what did they think was happening?  How was there even room for more Jews if they weren't being mass murdered?

It is possible some higher ups knew more about the concentration camps. Personally, I doubt it. But I suppose it was possible. But a couple of things.

First, I doubt that any would have believed such reports. At least not on the scale they were occurring. While the world had seen massacres before, they had never seen something like this on such an organized and industrialized scale. It was institutionalized.

Second, even if they did know, they didn't share it. The U.S., U.K., and the Soviet troops and commanders knew nothing about it. They were in shock when they experienced it.
