I find it more interesting that the world keeps focussing on the 6 million Jews that were killed,Good point. I think what separates the Holocaust is how the Jews were forced to aid in the destruction of their own people in awful ways, as told in that documentary.
yet there have been countless genocides in humanity
I'd imagine the lore of the war is quite different in Russia. Of course, I am only exposed to western writers and their focus of events. Americans love the romantic idea of delivering the Jewish people from the holocaust, then the Ruskies almost immediately became our enemy.I find it more interesting that the world keeps focussing on the 6 million Jews that were killed,
rather than the 25 million(+3 million war prisoners) Slavs that were killed or the 4.3 million German non-Jews that were killed.
It's really all in the narrative. Case in point: The Zionists
Nationalist Jews weren't killed. Winners write history, that's how it's always been.
Dirty details get lost

Every documentary I've seen definitely mentions it, although often with the slant of Stalin being underprepared and throwing bodies at the Germans in a sort of cruelty against his own people.
I mean, the US is certainly no angel, but Russia also committed their own war crimes against the Germans, especially after the eastern front collapsed, no?
I see OP is 3 years old now, but anyway, could derive some inspiration from Gorecki's very famous 3rd symphony and the themes in the lyrics to the different movements:
