The secular Pahlavi Dynasty rose to leadership in 1925, the first being leader being Reza Khan Pahlavi, followed by his son Mohammad, in 1941. The Jewish community had once again found peace.

But with the advent of the Iranian revolution in 1979, along with the rise to power of the Ayatollah Khomeini, Jews found themselves the target of hatred once again.

Unfortunately, David Samadi’s family was forced to be separated because of all the changes that have come along with the Iranian Revolution.

Samadi and his brother were able to study at a private school that was close to the boarding house run by a middle-aged couple. For gaining a high school education, they shifted their place to the United States. Samadi recalled how he and his brother eventually learned to cope with this new lonely life that had been thrust upon them. As the months began to pass, although missing their parents and being forced to get used to living on their own, both Samadi and his brother tried to honor their parents, with whom they were able to talk occasionally.

Samadi had only one dream, and that was to succeed. They both worked very hard at school and were both excellent in science. That was the moment when Samadi became to dream about having a career as a doctor, a dream which helped him combat the loneliness that he used to feel.

The loneliness also continued even when they moved to America, but David and Dan started to feel better and happier in their new surroundings. The first 6 years spent in New York seemed to be very productive for both brothers. By 1990 Samadi had completed his first year at Stony Brook School of Medicine with honors.
