His family had been in America, and Philip was born there. One year before the general war they had returned to Mezreh. The father of course was killed in the beginning of the war. His mother was deported with Philip. On the road his mother was killed.

            Philip was so tired that he could not continue to walk and he set down. A Kourd from Maktalen took him to his house and kept him during eight years as his child.

            A young Armenian was leaving for Aleppo, he took Philip with him and brought him to us.

            Found relatives here in Aleppo and went to live with them.
