Not only that. Those in Stalin's prison camps were arrested, charged and sentensed (at least some visibility of law was maintained). You could be arrested by the false charge but there were trials and there were acquittals. Hitler outlawed the whole nations (incluting all of the Slavs, btw, along with the Jews, the Gypsies and many others).

People in Stalin's camps were sent there to work, Hitler's camps were for extermination. Stalin used terror for rule (he was paranoidal and saw a competitor and an enemy in anyone who raised above the general grey mass).
Hitler exterminated other nations just out of pure hatred.
