Hey Clark!
Thanks for your encouragement!

All I can say is that they did what they thought would work for them...and we documented what they did. You have to remember: these people are educators, not ideologues. They are not under an ideologue's imperative to find the proper atrocity that makes them able to grind a personal political axe. Your question makes me laugh, really. It's as if you're saying "my genocide is better than your genocide." KnowwhutImean?

Anyway, if they spent time trying to be sure they'd found the "perfect" genocide to study then they probably would still be deciding. And do you really think they don't talk about these other atrocities in their work? Your implied assumption that they only consider the Jewish holocaust suggest a narrow way of thinking (ie leaps to unquestioned assumptions).

I hadn't thought about this before, but there's really another reason why the Holocaust can be studied with uncommon fruitfulness: it was particularly well documented, from both sides. The the presence of so much important prior work and so many sources provides lots of study material.
