The Pictorial Story of War

What is of great significance in oral history is that the oral historian could wake up the dormant memory and recalls the narrator again what has been forgotten, forcing him or her to speak about it. One of the most efficient tools in this regard which makes the job of historian easy is photo. The photos related to an event are evoked in the narrator's mind.

Daughter of Sheena-57

Memories of Qadamkheyr Mohammadi Kanaan

Wife of Sardar Shaheed Haj Sattar Ebrahimi Hajir

Memory writer: Behnaz Zarrabizadeh

Tehran, Sooreh Mehr Publications Company, 2011 (Persian Version)

Translated by Zahra Hosseinian

The next morning, we went to Qayesh. It was in the afternoon when Samad said: “Qadamkheyr! I want to go to the front. Let’s get back to Hamadan together?”

I said: “You want to go to the front, so want me for what? A few days I stay with Sediqeh and then I'll return.”

He said: “No, my Mom won’t doubt, if you come with me. But if I go alone, she’ll know that I want to go to the front. She is still mournful and heartbroken.”

We returned to Hamedan that afternoon. This time we brought Sattar’s daughter, Somayeh, with ourselves again. The next day, Samad woke up early, prayed and said: “Qadamkheyr! I’m going, please take care of our kids. Take after Sattar’s Somayeh too. Don’t let her be unhappy; also let her stay here till whenever she wants.”
