It is generally preferable to have direct and immediate knowledge of an event rather than rely on indirect information. This preference stems from the trustworthiness and accuracy of firsthand experience. When it comes to specific historical events, however, the importance of direct knowledge becomes even greater. This is especially true because such information is meant to be passed down to future generations, helping them shape their beliefs, mental frameworks, and ultimately their original identity.
Therefore, the topic known as "oral history," as a form of identity heritage, carries significant and inevitable nuances that demand careful attention. For example, oral history is entirely dependent on time. It is crucial to remember that witnesses to important events have a limited lifespan. While they are still alive, they must be sought out and their memories recorded carefully. Although the verification, classification, and organization of the collected information are necessary steps in the process, the skill and vigilance of the person handling oral history are equally important.
In conclusion, meaningful and valuable results in the field of oral history can only be achieved within a favorable timeframe and through the efforts of skilled and knowledgeable researchers and scholars.

Mohammad — The Messiah of Kurdistan
Boroujerdi immediately said to Darvish, “Ready a few men; we’re going.” Then he moved toward Mostafa, who was studying the Kurdistan map.
