Harry Potter- Comparing Death Eaters to Nazis is an insult to Jews.

First of all, the pure blood ideology is stupid, let’s get that off the table. But it pisses me off when people compare Death Eaters to Nazis.

Millions (roughly 6 mil) of Jews were persecuted, tortured, hunted down and murdered in cold blood in organized manner by the Nazis, which is infamously known as the holocaust. What have Death Eaters done compared to that? Wizards were already a small minority among humans and death eaters were minority among the wizard-kind itself. The HP wizarding world estimates the Wizard to muggle ratio as 4150 to 1 and that would make the wizard population roughly 1.8 million against the 7 Billion of total world population.

It was the wizards that have been persecuted throughout the history. Incidents like witch hunts and burnings are examples for that. Also, there are hints that in the HP universe, wizards have fought muggles and lost before, and that explains why wizards are forced to not to reveal themselves and live in hiding. So muggles are not at all powerless as the lore claims to be. They are bigger in numbers and a practical war would always mean that the wizard would lose and there’s a little chance that muggles would face the same fate as Jews. Both death eaters and Nazis were evil, but DE were nowhere near the monstrosity that Nazis were.
