I am aware of that. Yet the simile isn't really working the way you 
want it to work. Kindertransport may have ended before Auschwitz and 
all the other death camps started, but it was already after 
Kristallnaht and with Hitler in power. The danger was real, it was 
there. In the WW, however, they only just had celebrated victory over 
Voldemort. Dumledore knew that it wasn't a final victory, but there 
wasn't any immediate danger for Harry.
