“Morteza Sarhangi” & his two world perspectives

One of the titles of Sheikh Abdol-karim Haeri Yazdi is “Ayatollah Moasses”(1). The title was given and remembered in history because he established an influential and important foundation. Qom Seminary was founded when the circumstances were not in favor and thrived by the efforts of Haj Sheikh and in the next decades it transformed into a foundation which changed history. I had the chance to cooperate with Morteza Sarhangi in the establishment of Resistance Literature and Art Department and work there for two decades. There is no doubt that this department was based on wisdom, providence, patience and twenty seven continuous efforts of Mr. Sarhangi which evolved to become involved in social streams. What is now called the literature of resistance is rooted in those features.

Wives of martyrs and chemical victims honored

The ceremony for unveiling the English and Persian versions of the book "Journey to the Burnt Island" authored by HedayatollahBehboudi and the unveiling ceremony for the Japanese translation of "Journey to Narration of Coughs" written by Hamid Hessam were held on Monday 24th of Farvardin 1394 (April 13, 2015). It is worth mentioning that the Oral History Weekly had the honor for the first time to release the fourth diary of HedayatollahBehboudi in the cyberspace on a weekly basis. The audience followed the diary in 15 episodes in two Persian and English languages. In the unveiling ceremony, the wives of the chemical victims and chemical martyrs were also honored.

A Man of Diplomacy

In books presented to the market under the concept of Oral History there is little trace of any book which is based on accepted standards close to oral history. “Revolution & Diplomacy in Memoirs of Seyyed Mohammad Sadr” is a book which contains invaluable information on the events of Islamic Revolution and first years of revolution in governmental structure. One of the key features of this book is that it narrates critical events of revolution and beginning of war from a diplomatic perspective which he has witnessed close by and has been relatively involved in some decisions made and some events which have taken place. These narratives are importance since many witnesses of these events are either martyrs or are not among us anymore.
