Garabed was a small boy, when he was deported with his parents, his brother and sister. All of them were sent to a Kurdish village called Boyt Bogh. On the road his mother became ill and died, also his little sister died a few days after of typhus. The father with his two boys was driven further on. Arrived at the village his father and brother died. He himself was taken by a Kurd. Garabed was rather well treated and became a shepherd. With his age, his desire to return to civilized life grew. He decided to flee and so he did. After three days wandering at night he reached Djerablus. There he was recognized as an Armenian by our agent who immediately sent him to our rescue-home in Aleppo.

Left our care: September 15, 1927. Relatives, uncle in Djerablus.
