What Is The Difference Between Hitler And The White Witch

Improved Essays
The White Witch and Hitler

Although the White Witch and Hitler were both ruthless, cruel rulers, they

ensured their power in different ways. The White Witch secured her power by

using her magic to make it eternal winter. Hitler changed the children’s education

by forcing Nazi ideas in the school books, and oppressing the Enabling Act on the

German citizens.

Although the White Witch is just a character in a book, Hitler was real and killed and

harmed real people. When the White Witch was defeated , the reign of peace was

reestablished. But Europe would never forget the terrifying experience of World

War II.

    The witch craze, during which hundreds of thousands of people were executed without trial, occurred during the renaissance and reformation in the late 1400s until the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment in the 1700s. The “witches” were mostly female, and given no trial. During this time period, although people were beginning to get educated, the majority of people believed that women could be evil and crazy, but men couldn’t and were therefore better than women and could do what they desired, which included placing the blame of the world’s evils on women.

    Holocaust VS Witch Hunts From 1941 to 1945, Hitler sought out any and all Jews so he could place them in internments camps and eventually kill them. He did this without the factual evidence to convict them, which lead to the massacre of millions of people in Germany at the time. While the Salem witch hunts of 1692-93 were not on such a massive scale, they did involve convicting people without decent evidence and putting them to death, much like the Holocaust. One example of an unjust conviction during the witch hunts in comparison to the holocaust was the trial of Mary Easty.…
