Israel's selective memory

Over the years the Holocaust has been marketed (for the want of a better word) by Israel in pursuit of their "victim" status to such an extent I suspect many Americans for example would presume that it was only Jews that died during the Nazi holocaust out of the estimated total of 6 million.
But what about Stalin's death camps which are estimated to have caused 30 million victims, why is this not remembered in the same way? Should we also remember the part the Jews played in that even larger genocide. There was after all Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich who was the chief mass murderer for Stalin, who ordered the deaths of millions and the wholesale destruction of Christian monuments and churches, including the great Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Alternatively Mikhail Kaganovich: deputy commissar of heavy industry, supervisor of slave labor or Matvei Berman and Naftaly Frenkel: founders of the Gulag death camp system. Lev Inzhir, commissar for Soviet death camp transit and administration. Boris Berman: executive officer of the Soviet Secret Police and brother of Matvei. K.V. Pauker: chief of operations, Soviet NKVD Secret Police. Firin, Rappoport, Kogan, Zhuk: commissars of death camps and slave labor, supervised the mass deaths of laborers during the construction of the White Sea-Baltic Canal. M.I. Gay: commander, Soviet Secret Police. Leiba Lazarevich Feldbin (Aleksandr Orlov): commander, Soviet Red Army; officer, Soviet Secret Police. Feldbin was chief of Soviet Security in the Spanish Civil War. He supervised the massacre of Catholic priests and peasants in Spain.Sergei Eisenstein: director of communist propaganda films which depicted Christian peasants (kulaks) as hideous, money-grabbing parasites. The kulaks were subsequently massacred. (Cf. for example Eisenstein's Bezhin Meadow).

Komzet: commission for the settlement of Jewish Communists on land seized from murdered Christians in Ukraine; funded by Jewish-American financier Julius Rosenwald. Ilya Ehrenburg, Minister of Soviet Propaganda and disseminator of anti-German hate material dating from the 1930s. Ehrenburg instigated the Soviet Red Army rape and murder of German civilians. Referring to German women, Ehrenburg gloated to the advancing Red Army troops, "that blonde hag is in for a bad time."

Solomon Mikhoels: commissar of Soviet propaganda. Lev Grigorievich Levin: physician, poisoner of Stalin's enemies and Zakharovich Mekhlis: top executioner for Stalin.

Why is it that Israel doesn't want to remember these Jews in the same way as the victims of Hitler?

An Israeli draft resolution, which it hopes will be adopted by the 191-member General Assembly during its 60th session opening next month, proposes January 27 as a day to commemorate holocaust victims, marking the day in 1945 when Russian troops liberated Auschwitz, the largest Nazi death camp.[1]

British Deputy Ambassador Adam Thomson told Kofi Annan in a recent letter that more than 30 European countries already support Israel's plan. Israeli Deputy U.N. Ambassador Daniel Carmon said: "It is a universal resolution, a nonpolitical remembrance of the most atrocious event that happened in the last century � it should be acknowledged by the United Nations."
