Forgotten Genocide of World War 2

Today, learning about the raping of Nanking and the genocide committed, I felt sick to my stomach. The Japanese raped women until they died. They sliced young boys in half. They tallied how many heads they could cut off someone in one day. How did that help their army at all? Except make the allied powers more angry. I also want to know why this is so unknown compared to the holocaust? It seems to be the same thing just presented in a different way. This was a genocide and the USA should have done something about it. Instead we kept out of their business, but we could have helped and maybe saved more innocent lives.
