I think part of it is Jewish organizations have done a great job investing in historians and museums to do the work.

Someone in another thread mentioned a lack of museums about the American holocaust. That stuck in my head. Now I’m thinking about how we fund historians and museums to teach that timeline better.

What does the American holocaust refer to? EDIT: if it’s the initial European conquest and genocide, perhaps the lack of photographic / contemporary documentation makes a museum more difficult?
Yeah, that's what it refers to. I agree that the lack of contemporary documentation might be a major factor.
