A Flame of Fire: A Story of My Own Identity and What It, Means to Be a Minority in Iran

by Khalil E Nikkhessal

Overview

Religious freedom is not something found the world over. It is particularly not evident in Iran where religious persecution takes place against the Bahá'í, the country's second largest religion. What's remarkable is so many in this minority group are successful in spite of the obstacles that come with this type of discrimination. Author Khalil Nikkhessal is one such example. By his own admission, it just wasn't very easy. A Flame of Fire is his story of perseverance.

About the Author

Mr. Nikkhessal was born in Yazd, Iran in 1941, into a family having a brother and three sisters. His understanding of his place in the country's culture was formed early, from observing the treatment of the elders in his family by the Muslim community and by the mistreatment he received in school. That did not deter him, however, from graduating from high school, immigrating to Germany, learning the language and ultimately receiving a master's degree in electronics from the Technical University in Frankfurt. After a series of jobs in that country, he returned to Iran, his homeland, to establish a family and a business.
