Their tragic historic plight is probably the most chronicled in the history of mankind. From biblical times, to the pogroms of Eastern Europe and finally to the Holocaust, where the ultimate aim was the annihilation of their race. So yes they've had a lot of attention.
If you want to pick a more modern race whose plight hasn't really been highlighted, races such as the Armenians and Kurds are much better examples.
