Tilda Swinton will make a great Grindelwald in 4tasticBeasts.

Who shall get to be Grindelwald for the epic climax in "Fantastic 5", as the liberation of Auschwitz or possibly the bombing of Hiroshima is intercut with Jude Law and [Actor] fighting with wands.
(One of my friends pointed out this seems to be where the franchise is inevitably headed unless someone, anyone, can stop JKR.)
Or don't, don't do this, no one is making you do this. 
Yes if you have some kind of fantasy setup taking place in "real history" then "why didn't they stop the Holocaust or 9/11 or this and that famine and disaster" these are tricky questions, but it's really just fine to ignore them if you want.
Of course this franchise is arguably already there, having already given us the phrase "Johnny Depp's Holocaust bong".
From the author who gave us "Queenie Goldstein, psychic easily fooled into becoming a Nazi".

There is the related uh also thorny question of how fantasy settings deal with actual religions. Probably impossible to handle well, but I'm sure JKR will do something or other.
Like there's the "Shakespeare was a Green Lantern" approach of folding historical figures into your mythos, which can be bad enough for just like artists and politicians, but for religious figures...again, thorny...
I was perpetually amused at how "The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina" had Lucifer as a major character but tried to dance around the whole Jesus thing. Or well, also this happened, and then they never spoke of it again.
But anyway it's fine. DC has Greek gods and angels and it's fine. They're for kids. This is not a suggestion, JKR, that you try to address this in any way.
*should have called this the "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" approach, dammit.
