What one book contains the most valuable lessons on government that every citizen of the country should become familiar with? The Federalist Papers? Plato’s Democracy? Seems to me that some of this stuff would be a lot more valuable than Romeo and Juliet or anne frankly’s diary or whatever passes for a civics class these days

Yep. Similarly, stories about what happened to Jews in concentration camps in nazi Germany, or even to slaves in plantations in the US, are extremely exaggerated. Not everything written in history books is accurate.
There is documented evidence that the Nazis were exterminating Jews on am industrial scale. Mich of the evidence was lost because the Nazis covered it up which means the actual events were even WORSE than reported. More than 7000000 jews were exterminated during that genocide.
The Soviets on the other hand only forced central Asian Muslims to drink Alcohol and smoke cigarettes in a failed attempt to civilize them. Most of them being Muslims refused so they were sent to camps to support the war effort. Some were shot or died from accidents but there was nothing purposeful about it.
