It's not because the deaths were more horrific, I think, but because of the process that lead to those deaths, and the novelty of that process. It was massive in scale and it was organized and mechanized and modern in its implementation, and intentional and directed and planned, in ways that had not happened in history before. It was unprecedented and new, different in fundamental, qualitative ways from anything that had happened before, and even if other horrible things have happened since, the psychic shock of it still echoes more. Because whenever something happens, it can happen again. So that means that the Holocaust was the first thing which confirmed that things like the Holocaust could happen, that the potential for something like this existed within the human species, whereas everything after was only something like the Holocaust.

So the Holocaust was something new, and it presented a new category in human affairs - the concept that a modern state could come together and decide to use scientific technological means to exterminate 12 million people, to try not only to kill people it regarded as its enemies but to exterminate them from the face of the earth so that no trace whatsoever remained. So that's why people accord more importance to it, and I think that does in some way make it... not worse, maybe - I agree that ranking atrocities is kind of suspect - but in some sense more horrifying or shocking.
