The only reason the Holocaust is seen as the worst atrocity ever is because it happened in Europe. You never hear anyone talking about the 15 million deaths in the Congo under King Leopold II of Belgium. Or what about the genocide on the Native Americans?
If the holocaust happened in Africa, nobody would talk about it.

You're also overlooking the way the Holocaust involved the international community of folks who thought they were designing a world order in which such a thing couldn't possibly happen... before they contributed to it.
One reason "we" talk about the Holocaust is because "we" were so directly responsible for it based on the stage we set for it to happen.
