When it comes to the Holocaust and the discrimination/abuse the Jews faced, Hitler is the first name that is mentioned. Why aren’t Goebbels and Himmler prominent name in the general public when they are practically the architects of it all?

One is the leader-figure, the other the lackeys. People tend to see the people at the top first.

Because Hitler was the leader. People always see him first as the man who gave them instructions. The others called out his command.

You're claiming Goebbels was one of two main architects of the Holocaust, when he didn't even attend the Wannsee conference. Why?

The actual architects are the men who planned and implemented it. Himmler, Heydrich, Eichmann, etc.
