Belgians endgoals wasn’t to kill Congolese, it was to make money. Hell even israelis hide their genocide behind security concerns or whatever.
Nazi Germany’s endgoal was to eradicate non Aryans and they dedicated entire industrial complex to racial hygiene. As such, it’s a step beyond all the gulags, starvation, carpet bombing, terror, March to nowhere you want. They shoved people in fucking oven.

I can’t disagree and I’m aware these are not on the same level. Not a perfect analogy for sure, but still a place people went to die to.
Nazis camps were also not all the same. Auschwitz was a labor camp for example - which yes, still had gas chambrers and ovens. But then there was the like of Birkenau not far from there and thats where people were actually sent to die. It is clear which of those is more evil, but you can’t say one of them wasn’t evil just because the other was more evil
