Efkaris was exiled with her parents and one sister. Her brother went to Constantinople and hid himself there. It took seven months to reach Aleppo from Broussa. On the road, near Islahie, her sister was taken by a Kurd and her father died in Ras-el-Ain. Near the village of Moza, between Mardin and Nisibin, a Kurd, paying some Medjidies to the gendarms took her out of the caravan and brought to her to his village. After some months he passed her on to another one, named Kheder Agha, to whom she was forced to give herself as to a husband. In the course of time she got children and for the sake of them she could not flee. Meanwhile her brother in Constantinople made great efforts to save his sister. He had even gone himself to Mardin for that cause, but, it was of no use. Finally we were informed about the matter and succeeded in taking the poor woman out of the slavery. Now, she feels herself happy to be restored again to her relatives and to her own nation.
