I just read Persepolis which features some of that early on. Kids were given plastic keys spray painted gold in school as their “keys to heaven” and then sent out. Of course only the impoverished schools were issued their keys.
I think there’s a movie Persepolis too?
Here's a link to amazon for anyone interested! (us). Absolutely worth a read!
