I can't claim any direct experience with any of these mass killings, but
I can say this:
   The killing of the Jews by Hitler was mostly an act of lunacy.  There
were some reasons given, such as a fear that they controlled a good deal
of money, but mostly it was lunacy.  As the lunacy of one man, we can
do little to stop it.  Though the numbers and atrocity may be orders
of magnitude above other killings, it may be argued that we should be
as or more concerned with killings where the killers are sane and also
think they are justified.
