Mardiros' father was killed in the beginning of the war. He himself was exiled with his mother and two brothers. His mother could not stand the sufferings on the road. She became ill and died from starvation and disease. His elder brother was killed in Abu-Kemal. His little brother disappeared. He himself was one day taken by an Arab and had to work hard for that man twelve years. Mardiros always wanted to get away but where to flee? He was always told that all Armenians were killed. Once our agent from Hassitshe met with him and told him the contrary. How happy Mardiros was to learn that of course he immediately followed the agent and one day he arrived in our home.
