    In this second podcast, we hear from teachers – some from the same schools as the previously interviewed students. Here, they share their teaching practices and how they felt students reacted to them. As with the students, having contributions from across the UK made it possible to compare teaching practices as well as highlight good local resources for Holocaust education, such as the Gathering the Voices project in Scotland.
