yes, in fact it is. The Crubible is an allegory to McCarthyism, how people were accused, in this case people accused for whichcraft and lacked knowledge to believe they were true. You see this in McCarthyism, aslo.
Tragedy, allegory
The correct way to phrase the question is "How is the Crucible related to the Salem Witch Trials." More important and/or older event first. The Crucible is a play that mangles facts and theories about the trials to create an allegory to 1950s McCarthyism.
The Crucible is not an allegory, although many mistake it to be for obvious reasons. The Crucible was written, in part, because Arthur Miller (the playwright) was angered at his friend during The Red Scare. His friend, Kahn, reported a list of government names who were taking inside steps towards communism. Miller, upset at his good friends false accusations, wrote The Crucible shortly after.However, the Crucible's characters are almost historically accurate, three dimensional characters, two aspects rarely found in allegory. Crucible is often read to learn about the destructive nature of man and what reputation and greed can do to and/or for a person.

The Crucible can be seen as an allegory based upon the context under which it was written. At the time, Arthur Miller sought to make a political criticism of the McCarthy trials in their efforts to find Communist spies in America. However, given the political climate, Miller used the story of the Salem witch trials as an allegory to represent the scapegoat nature of human fear and how it related to the trials going on in his own time.
Miller's play is titled "The Crucible." Is not a factual history of the event, but a mangling of facts and theories about the trials to create an allegory to 1950s McCarthyism.
