The question presumes that slavery was worse, however the counter is true. The treatment received by those incarcerated by the Nazis was far worse than most American and especially British slaves ever encountered. Aside from transport from Africa, the slaves, in America at least, experienced a standard of living far above that of the average white subsistence farmer. Slaves had inherent worth. While they were treated largely as livestock, the represented an huge investment on the part of plantation owners, far more than that earned by average yearly wages for the common worker.

Those arrested by the Nazis and placed in the camps cost the Nazis nothing to acquire. While there was some investment in transport, camp construction, wages of troops and guards, and final dispositions of those terminated, the resources generated by the free labor was substantially more.

Never make the mistake of guessing without knowing something regarding history. Never make the mistake as well of comparing one period of history with another (including the present).

What is worse Nazis or slavery?

Well, both are pretty bad. However, Nazis occasionally used slavery, in addition to war and murder. So that seems like it's considerably worse than just slavery by itself.


How was slavery trad smaller than the holocaust?

It was not smaller. Slavery has been going on for thousands of years. Owning people was common and a sign of status well into the 1600s. It has been illegal in most western countries since the start of the ninteenth century and in the US a few generations later. But slavery still exists, but in other and in some cases much worse forms.
