We present a unique report by Alicja Kotowska and Karolina Marcinkowska – the result of a nationwide survey conducted among teachers and educators as part of the Educational Toolkit project. The report fills a gap in research by focusing not on students, but on the psychosocial and methodological challenges teachers face when teaching about traumatic past events.
