I live in one of those "never forget" nations that promised to never forget something... but it seems that we, too, managed to forget.

Psssssst....

Damit besagte Personengruppen es vergessen könnten, mĂŒssten die es erstmal verstehen. Das wĂŒrde Bildung erfordern und da wird dann schwierig.... Wir haben kein Geld fĂŒr Bildung. Das haben die Reichen.

It is more that the rich ensured that education focused primarily on the aesthetic horrors of fascism rather than its material origin. The impetus for bonapartist tendencies was never removed so it eventually returned as conditions necessitated. The rich could not admit it was the system they uphold and benefit from that gave rise to fascism without endangering their positions and implicating themselves.

I want to upvote the "aesthetic horrors" but it's not "the rich". It's just human stupidity and laziness in trying to educate children.

you would be shocked to find out who writes and owns your textbook and course curriculums. Idk what textbooks are like in Europe exactly but american education is effectively propaganda when it comes to historical subjects. Tbh though, whether these things are owned and written by your government or private interests they are influenced by bourgeois politics and the historical perspective it creates. All of our retellings of history are influenced by the dominant ideology of their era.
