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.

Hajj Pilgrimage
I went on a Hajj pilgrimage in the early 1340s (1960s). At that time, few people from the army, gendarmerie and police went on a pilgrimage to the holy Mashhad and holy shrines in Iraq. It happened very rarely. After all, there were faithful people in the Iranian army who were committed to obeying the Islamic halal and haram rules in any situation, and they used to pray.A section of the memories of a freed Iranian prisoner; Mohsen Bakhshi
Programs of New Year HolidaysWithout blooming, without flowers, without greenery and without a table for Haft-sin , another spring has been arrived. Spring came to the camp without bringing freshness and the first days of New Year began in this camp. We were unaware of the plans that old friends had in this camp when Eid (New Year) came.
