A Childhood Memento5- A Memoir by Dr. Anvar Khame’ee
Ringworm
Interview date: 1994/24/10
I was the best student in class. Four or five months after the beginning of the school year, when I just learnt a couple of alphabet letters, I became bald.
Back then, people used ”zoft”, a substance which resembles tar to cure this disease. They would cover the whole head with a layer of tar, especially the wounded parts of the scalp. Then, they would remove it under the surveillance of a physician. What happened was that the patient became bald until the stems grew back again.
My parents said “no, he has to keep his hair” and tried to cure me with other medicine. Finally after 3years Dr. Sharghi prescribed me an ointment to save my hair.
However, I didn’t go to school for three consecutive years because they thought my disease was contagious.
During this time, I stayed home and studied by my self or with my brothers’ help. After these three years I registered for the 4th grade.
I compensated for my frequent absents and finished primary school at ”Etehadie” elementary school. Then I studied in “Elmieh” high school and got my high school degree.

Comparing the Narratives of Commanders and Ordinary Combatants in the Sacred Defense
An Analysis of Functions and ConsequencesThe experience of the Sacred Defense cannot be comprehended merely through statistics or official reports; what truly endures from war are the narratives of those who stood upon its frontlines.

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. Mostafa straightened his back and said, “During my service in the army I experienced a full-scale war in Kurdistan. Guerrilla warfare in Kurdistan follows its own rules. The anti-revolutionary commanders want to draw us into a battle chosen on their terms.”
