I assumed it would be obvious that the non-simulated humans would be killed if they were marched into the death camps, although I didn't actually say so.
The torture is worse than death, so the simplest detail that makes the story work is that the aliens delete the simulated humans in that case.
The terms of the ultimatum weren't clear from the story. These are aliens, but we have to fill in the blanks using anthropomorphic intuitions.
