Chenum was married in Urfa, when the presecutions broke out there, and had three children. Her husband was killed. She was deported together with his relatives and her own sister. They were sent over Diarbekir to Mardin. Her youngest child died on the road. The Kurds took one little boy, the same happened to her sister. She was now alone with her eldest son, David, and a sister-in-law. Finally she became so exhausted that she could walk no longer, then a Kurd carried her away. David remained in the caravan. For a long time she lost sight of all her people, but her mother and sister had been able to save their life and to return to their own people, and we could save little David, No. 297. He is now a prosperous young man in Beirut. Finally her whereabouts were discovered too, and our agent brought her out. 

They are now all living in Beirut.

Left our care: April 7, 1928. Handed her over to her sister, who had come from Beirut to receive her.
