Then you have plenty more in more recent times- the Europeans nearly depopulated the entire native population of millions in North and South America when they "discovered" the New World in the middle ages due to disease and genocide.

The Japanese raped, tortured and killed far more Chinese in WW2 than Germans did everyone put together. Stalin's pogroms and campaigns of mass murder during and after WW2 also dwarf the Holocaust. The Turks genocide of the Armenians during and after WW1. There are numerous more examples.
