"Stalin killed millions of their own people too and how many films you see about it? Few films about China revolution too. It was not politically correct." To oversimplify things a bit a large reason for the obsessions has to be the availability of a large trove of images (movies, pictures) describing the event. In a somewhat similar way people are obsessed with the Kennedy Assassination (and Kennedy and "The Kennedys" for that matter) no doubt driven in part by a large amount of images of a youthful Kennedy as well as obviously the zapruder film. Plus much of that unrolled on TV (the funeral I remember sitting in front of a TV watching as a youngster).
