In 2004, Chowra Makaremi discovered the notebook written years before by her since-deceased maternal grandfather, Aziz Zarei. The notebook recounts the tragic destiny of Aziz’s two daughters in the Teheran of the 1980s: the first one, Chowra’s aunt, was arrested and executed, despite being 8-months pregnant in 1982.

The second, Chowra’s own mother, was arrested in 1981 and was imprisoned and tortured for 7 long years before she was finally killed in the mass-murder of political prisoners in Iran’s prisons during the year 1988.

Written by an ordinary, pious man and a desperate father, this notebook brings to life those tragic years in general, and in particular the ‘prison massacre of 1988’, when personal tragedy joined History in the making of a country which has yet to find peace with itself and with the world.
