 A group of Persian Jews have spent thousands of hours to make a collection of photographs of Beheshtieh, on of the few remaining Jewish Cemeteries in Iran. In the year 2003 when the projects founder visited Tehran for two and a half months.
It was very hard for me to see so many broken gravestones. So he asked himself where are the parents and families of the deceased? Do they remember that they have a loved one at Beheshtieh ? The Islamic revolution made many Persians escape to different parts of the world, and so he made a web site with a database of pictures of graves so that loved ones could see pictures of the graveyard and the actual graves of family and friends that had passed. He has impressively documented approximately 90% of all the gravestones in the cemetery.
