            Asdghig's parents were deported in the beginning of the war. They left their child Asdghig, six years old, with a cousin of her. Some months afterwards those too also were deported with their country people. On the road the cousin was killed and Asdghig was left alone in the caravan. A Turk one day took her and brought her to Mardin to his house. She stayed there six years as a slave, was then sold for 100 Medjide to a man named Sheikh Nedjmeddin, who after a year married her to his adopted son. Asdghig was always looking for a chance to flee. She newly succeeded and reached Hassitshe from where she was sent on to our rescue-house in Aleppo.
