Yes there are. But the Holocaust trumps them all. This was an attempt to wipe out an entire people on an industrial scale. And furthermore it was done in a supposedly modern, enlightened age. In a post WW1 world were mankind was supposed to have put all that kind of stuff behind him. In one of the most educated countries on Earth. Stuff like the Boer war is hardly worth mentioning compared to the Holocaust.

The war crimes perpetrated at the Ostfront trumps even the holocaust. The Germans didn't go there just to subjegate like with France or the low countries, but with the intent of freeing up lebensraum for future German colonists. The Germans murdered an estimated 17 million Russian civilians.
General Eisenhower had this to say:
"When we flew into Russia, in 1945, I did not see a house standing between the western borders of the country and the area around Moscow. Through this overrun region, Marshal Zhukov told me, so many numbers of women, children and old men had been killed that the Russian Government would never be able to estimate the total."

I don't recall having heard or seen this mentioned even once while I was in high school, and it's not made up.
