A Trip to Burnt Island
A Trip to Burnt Island
Notes of travelling to Hiroshima
By Hedayatollah Behboudi
Iran Farhang Publications
1st Edition: Mehr 1393 (September 2014)
Oral History Weekly had the honor to publish for the first time the itinerary of Hedayatollah Behboudi in the cyberspace. The audience followed the itinerary from the weekly issue 132 to 146 in fifteen parts in two English and Persian languages. Since the itineraries are considered a branch of oral history, it can be said that the itinerary had created a variation during its publication.
Despite little volume, the procedure was that a handwriting was presented to the website every week. After typesetting and revision, proper images to the related text which has a great impact in attractiveness would be selected and prepared for publication in the weekly. The English translation would be released two days after its Persian publication. The studying of “Writer’s Note†in the book’s beginning is brief and attractive:
“My itineraries which have already been published were “A Trip to Qiblaâ€, “A Trip to Halabchehâ€, and “A Trip to Russia†the difference of the fourth one with the other three is in its colored images and high volume and size. Apart from its high cost, the three specifications have added to the book’s outward attractiveness. You can read it in less than ten hours and accompany me in this ten-day trip to Hiroshima; a very cheap one. The book was released for the first time in the website of Iranian Oral History and in the cyberspace and now in the natural world of paper.â€
In addition to colored images, the feature of the itinerary is the captions which contributes to the audience’s mind. If we have a ten-day trip or more to a place, we may consider as limited, using the pretext that what can be written in this short trip?
The book first introduces the writer briefly and it has been said that it is the 48th work and the 4th itineraries of Hedayatollah Behboudi.
The book’s subject is the ten-day trip of Morteza Sarhangi, Hadayatollah Behboudi, Parviz Parastooei, Habib Ahmad Zadeh and a number of other war writers who visited Hisroshima’s Peace Museum. The museum contains the photos of the means and remains of the victims of the country’s atomic bombardment in 1945.

Authenticating Oral History: From Possibility to Necessity
The use of oral history as one of the historical sources has long been one of the principal challenges facing oral historians and those who employ it in contemporary historiography. The development of international standards for oral history, as well as IRIB standards, was intended to address the criticisms raised in this regard. The relationship between Diplomatics in written records and oral history is reciprocal.100 Questions/27

You could find everything in their stalls (from items for the Haft Sin table, candles, goldfish, and spring flowers to clothes, bags, and shoes).
