Use the HistogramScale option
Needs["Statistics`NormalDistribution`"];
Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"];
Do[
normdata=RandomArray[NormalDistribution[],10000];
normdata2=RandomArray[NormalDistribution[],10000];
DisplayTogether[
Histogram[normdata,BarEdgeStyle->Hue[0],
BarStyle->{}, HistogramScale->1],
Histogram[normdata2,BarStyle->{},
HistogramScale->1]],
{i,10}]
