Seems to me that the Holocaust exterminations were unique in history – at least in the West.
Wannsee indicates a strong degree of studious rationality, which is the unique part.
It’s like: “No, we don’t want rabid emotionalism, because that might hinder getting the job done as thoroughly as we want.”
Rwandan rabidity is undoubtedly the most common, and a lot of that happened in Nazi-held Europe during the ’30s and ’40s, but Wannsee was d*mn near “bureaucratic”.

It does seem unique, for sure.

Is memory correct in thinking that Mussolini’s crowd did not do any ‘exterminate-the-Jews’ stuff? That Italy was mostly tolerant.
I recall reading it ages ago, but am not certain I backup-researched it at the time.
