The main difference between the Nazi Final Solution and any other event that resulted in mass murder, including Nanjing, is not just the ideology, though that is key. The main difference is that the Nazi's industrialized it.
You can point to ethnic cleansing, mass torture, experimentation, etc. All of these things are shared between the Nazi's and other mass murderers. But when you add in the fact that they took the industrial assembly line and made it into an massive, rationalized killing machine... you have a unique event.
