Holocaust is one thing, Nazi persecution is another thing. Persecutions are a terrible thing — and Nazi persecution especially so — but it (and others) just fall short on the scale of atrocities, when being compared to the Holocaust.

You seem to not understand the term "genocide", thinking it means "mass murder".
It doesn't mean that.
The difference between "mass murder" and "genocide" is that genocide (as postulated by USHMM) is a. systematic, b. bureaucratic, and c. state-sponsored, while "mass murder" is either none of that, or at the very least not all of that.
The "final solution to the Jewish question", as suggested, planned, and implemented by the Nazis, started with an intent to eliminate the Jews, regardless of their sex, age, or beliefs, to the very last one of them — and planning to the point of realizing that intent, complete with sparing no effort at all, to see that intent to full implementation.
The only other ethnical/racial group targeted in the same manner was the Sinti/Roma people. Their prosecution and murder, which is also undeniably an instance of genocide ("killing of a nation"), is known as Porajmos.
This is not meant in any way to diminish the terrible suffering of other groups who were targeted and prosecuted by the Nazi regime — Soviet civilians, Polish civilians, prisoners of war, German homosexuals, the mentally disabled, Jehovah witnesses, and others (the list is very long). But the Nazis never had an intent, planning, bureaucracy, or effort to eliminate these groups until the very last one of them — in the way they had with regards to Jews or Roma/Sinti. They never asked the occupied France to deliver French homosexuals, of whom they never cared to begin with. They never asked Hungary to turn over their mentally disabled so they could be sent to extermination camps, the way they did ask for Jews. And they never sent a huge war ship to a remote Greek island for a single Jehovah witness living there — but they did that to pick one Jew.
The Holocaust, as any genocide, is not "just" mass murder. It's an intentional, planned, and duly executed mass murder of an entire people, when the complete and utter elimination of that ethnical/racial group is the declared and practical end goal.
