The main reason is that the Holocaust is generally regarded as a key event (or series of events) in modern history. It is widely talked about, and one needs to know what it was.

Some will say that another reason is make sure that nothing like it happens again. However, this reason is not as convincing as similar things have in fact happened since 1945.
It is widely seen as one of the key events of the 20th century.

Are schools refusing to teach about the Holocaust?

There are a very few schools in the Western world that have removed the Holocaust from their curriculum, and there are news reports about individual teachers that won't teach it (especially in the UK), either because they are uncomfortable or because they feel pressured. However, the vast majority of schools in the U.S. and other Western countries have strong Holocaust curriculums. I know that some Southern U.S. communities are being pressured to back away from teaching about racism, slavery and subjects uncomfortable to some Christians like the Crusades, but these developments are being fought by educators. Of course, schools in countries run by Holocaust deniers aren't teaching about the Holocaust, but they are getting a skewed view of most of history, not just the Holocaust.

Is the Holocaust still taught in British schools?

No. The Holocaust is today part of every child's formal education in England. In England, by law children are to be taught about the Holocaust as part of the Key Stage 3 History curriculum. This usually occurs in Year 9 (age 13-14). While academy schools do not have to follow this syllabus, it is assumed that they will deliver Holocaust education as part of a "balanced and broadly based" curriculum. Similarly, although independent schools are not obliged to deliver the National Curriculum, many in fact do. The Holocaust is not formally part of the national curriculum in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. However, it is widely taught and there is no evidence that it has been removed from textbooks.

How did teachers handle the topic of the holocaust after the end of the war?

The Holocaust was not widely taught in schools till after 1980 and it was certainly not taught in the immediate postwar period. From the end of World War 2 till the late 1960s the Holocaust was something of a non-subject apart from media reports on Holocaust trials.
