Anything outside of university level history studies is always not the worst parts of the past. I was shocked to learn later as an adult about atrocities in my own state when the grade level stuff was mostly boring and decades of events got at best a paragraph mention if at all.
Hell, even now in the age of video tech everywhere and real time connectivity, we only get brief glimpses of things here and there and not the whole picture, and things get overrun by the next story and often forgotten.
