The path is more important than the destination. Knowing the end result of a genocide does not help in prevention; however knowing step by step how a group of people was convinced to murder/torture/rape/enslave/dehumanize the entirety of another group of people is a massive help in preventing it.

Open a history book, please. The Nazis plan wasn’t to kill all Jews, it was to deport them all elsewhere until they realized how absurdly expensive that was, then the plan kept getting worse and worse until the gas chambers era that somehow is the only fucking thing people know about Nazi Germany now.

Between Putin and the ongoing operations carried over from the USSR, it’s not as dead as you’d think. Kinda like Rome but different.
