I guess because history is full of this kinda stuff, sadly. In Croatian school system (unless you study history, I assume?) half the curriculum is world history and European history (with like... only a few hours of international History jammed together) and the other half is our country or local regional history that affect Croatia in some way. I can't fathom where'd they'd slot all the horrendous historical anecdotes amongst all the horrendous historical anecdotes Croatia has been a part of. There would need to be a lot more history. Also, there was a period of "recent history" (but maybe that was in highschool) that was more political/nuanced from what I very vaguely remember

Fellow Croatian here, Holodomor was actually briefly mentioned in my high school history class 2 years ago.

History is full of any kind of event that may be taught, so that is a fully general answer: it can explain why anything isn't taught, and applies equally to things that are taught. And the part of Andrew Tanner's Quora answer (top answer at submission time) that says it's because "it had relatively little impact on other historical events" is tautological - it would have had more impact if it was taught and publicized more. So neither is a satisfying explanation.
